Joseph Nathan Lee

Joseph Lee Obituary

Lee, Joseph Nathan was born June 3, 1996, to the union of Joseph and Betty Lee. He was the eldest son to this union. Though his stay in this world was brief, he was certainly a blessing and a great source of joy to his family, church, friends, teammates, and the Evergreen Park Community. Joseph was an exceptional eighth grade student at Central Junior High School, located in Evergreen Park, IL. Joe was one of the best players of the Evergreen Park Athletic Association's Little League. Joe loved ALL sports, especially baseball and was an outstanding pitcher. Whatever sport he played, he played it well, and it was a pleasure to watch him play. Joseph's character was one of a kind. His quick wit, intellect, and observance of his surroundings were impeccable. He will be remembered for his smile, sense of humor, and well-mannered nature. He was admired by all of his peers. Simply put, Joe had SWAG! Joseph entered the sunset on Friday, November 14, 2008, at 7:45 p.m. For donations, please contact Central Junior High School, located at 9400 S. Sawyer, Evergreen Park, IL, 60805 or call (708) 424-0148.

From an EPAA coach, Joe was one pitcher we never wanted to face, he was a tough competitor. Joe will sorely be missed but I'm sure he will be pitching upstairs. In his short stay Joe left a lasting impression upon all who knew him.

Our condolences and prayers go out to the Lee Family.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Remember to keep your memories of Joe close to your heart and may these memories keep him alive forever.

Joe will always be in our minds and forever in our hearts.
