David Cecil Lee, Jr, "David Jr", 53, passed away on Thursday, July 15, 2021 in Hobbs, NM. Born January 24, 1968, in Houston, MS, he was the son of David Lee, Sr. and Anne and Jeff Cannon. He was a 1986 graduate of Calhoun City High School, and was a member of Derma Baptist Church. After high school, David Jr went on to receive his Bachelor's Degree from Mississippi State University. He spent most of his career in Sales, most recently with Ellerbe and Harrison Oil Leasing. David Jr was easy going, and never met a stranger. He enjoyed the simple things in life, and always had a smile on his face. He had such a positive presence around everyone. His infectious smile and constant encouragement for everyone made him who he was. David Jr's passion in life was golf. He was the guy that everyone wanted to play with. Not only because they had a chance of winning, but also because of the fellowship and the fun of being around him.
David Jr lived his life by always living in the moment and being a positive presence to the people and situations around him.
His memory will live on forever in the hearts and minds of his family and his countless number of friends.
