Lee Derek Glide
January 15th, 1971 - April 25th, 2025
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Lee Derek Glide (54) on Friday, April 25th. He was a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend. Lee was born in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England on January 15th, 1971, and lived in Elizabeth, CO. He proudly held dual American/English citizenship.
Lee loved and was loved deeply and intensely. Maria (Addink) Glide was his wife of fourteen years. His three children also carry on his memory: Katie Glide and her fiancé Nick Williams, Emily (Glide) Obert and her husband Camron, Yasmin Glide, as well as their mother and his former wife Karen Fox-Purdue. Lee leaves behind four stepchildren: Taylor, Amanda, Blake, and Morgan Mitchell; his brother, Rhys Glide; nephew Toby Glide; niece Isla Glide; uncle Steven Cray; and friends who were considered family: Angie DiScuillo and Ryan Cline. He was also a proud cat dad.
Lee was preceded in death by his son James Glide and his parents Gillian (Cray) Glide and Kenneth Glide.
Professionally, Lee spent 25 years with Visa, most recently as a Senior Systems Analyst. In addition to his career, he lived life passionately. His love of music spanned his lifetime and was shared with his family, bandmates, and friends. His hobbies included off-roading, disc golf, photography, woodworking, and his recording studio. Lee was determined enough to learn anything he set his mind to, including mechanics, plumbing, and electrical.
Lee's warmth and amazing hugs for those he loved will be deeply missed
and forever remembered by all who knew him.
The memorial service will be at the Vehicle Vault in Parker, on Thursday, May 8th at 10:30 am. Donations can be made to Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, where Lee donated photography services for years.https://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/donate/
