David A. Lee
Lee, David A. fondly known as LV, passed away on February 4, 2025 in Las Cruces NM. Born on April 15, 1947 in Minneapolis, MN, he was 77 years old. Raised in St. Louis Park MN, David was the big brother to five siblings. After college at Hamline University in St. Paul MN, he worked for Dayton's in Minneapolis until he moved to Colorado in 1986. There he worked for Gorsuch in Vail until retiring to Las Cruces, NM in 2018. A 17 year survivor of Pancreatic Cancer, his health declined over the past year. Dave's encyclopedic knowledge of sports - professional and collegiate teams, games, stats, and the English Premier Football League, especially Liverpool's team - was astounding. A big fan of blues and reggae music, Dave was one of the few hundred attendees who saw the Rolling Stones at Excelsior Amusement Park in 1964. He enjoyed playing Little League & Babe Ruth baseball and later softball. His passions included fishing at Lake Burntside and annual fishing trips to Lake of the Woods with many of his Monday Moose friends. Preceded in death by parents, Ivan & Betty Lou Lee and brother Peter Vincent Lee. Survived and loved by sisters Marjorie Lee (John Erickson), Janet Lee, Kerry Lee-Karol (Philip), Nancy Lee and love of his life, partner Barbara Polsfuss, nieces and nephews Megan Krohn, Kelsey Lee-Karol, Abby Lee-Karol, Vanessa Lee, Rachel Bouchard, Van Erickson and Stacy Erickson
