Jeffrey Paul Lee

Jeffrey Paul Lee passed away on April 15, 2025, at the age of 45, leaving behind his beautiful wife, Melissa, and their three precious children, Jayden (11), Jackson (9), and Taylor (2). He is survived by his loving parents, Rod and Barbara Lee of Glenwood, Utah, and his siblings, Heidi (Robert) Worley of Fillmore, Utah, Monica (Danny) Johnson of Johnstown, Colorado, and Greg (Brittney) Lee of Salem, Utah. Jeff is also survived by his in-laws, Blair and Lisa Cowley of Ammon, Idaho, and Melissa’s siblings, Bethany (Kristopher) Allen of Logan, Utah, Brandon (Raeann) Cowley of Syracuse, Utah, Erinn (Benjamin) Skidmore of Idaho Falls, Idaho, and Matthew (Macey) Cowley of Nampa, Idaho, as well as his 22 nieces and nephews, who will miss him greatly. 

Jeff was born on April 12, 1980, in Richfield, Utah. From the beginning, he was full of mischievous energy and always on the go. He approached life with a bold spirit, a big personality, and a fiery intensity that he brought to everything he did. He had a love for sports and the outdoors that never faded. Many of his happiest memories were formed by exploring the Clay Hills and the mountains surrounding Glenwood. That part of Utah would always be home to him. 

Jeff and Melissa were married on June 16, 2012, overlooking the pristine, rugged beauty of Fish Lake. It was a special place that meant so much to him. On October 17th, 2020, his family was sealed for time and all eternity in the Payson, Utah temple. It was a moment he had worked incredibly hard to achieve, pouring his heart into making that day possible. Jeff was a devoted father who loved his family deeply; they were the very nucleus of his world. Though his journey wasn’t without its challenges, he faced struggles that, at times, seemed insurmountable. He worked tirelessly to control his personal battles, desperately striving to be better for them and for himself. He and Melissa worked hard to build and manage their own business, Shine On Window Cleaning, with a strong commitment to making it successful. Jeff will always be remembered for his giant heart, big smile, booming laughter, and his love of music and sports. He once joked that instead of being buried, he wanted his ashes spread on Lambeau Field so he could live on to haunt opposing teams and trip them up. His “ride or die” was the Green Bay Packers, followed closely by the BYU Cougars. There was absolutely no filter when it came to supporting his teams; you never had to guess who was winning or losing because you were definitely going to hear about it! He was determined to “raise his kids right” and proudly took them to BYU games, to see his favorite band, Collective Soul, and on countless camping adventures. He valued spending time with his family and made sure to share the things he loved most. While our hearts ache with loss, we’re comforted knowing that his burdens are lifted, and he is at peace. He had a deep love for his Savior, Jesus Christ and the promises made in the temple, that families are forever! When it’s our time to go, we hope the first thing we see is Jeff bounding toward us, arms outstretched, that big smile on his face, shouting, “What took you so long? I’ve been waiting!”
