Bryan Douglas Lee

Bryan Lee, age 45, went to be home with Jesus on July 28, 2020, after an accident that caused a catastrophic brain injury. His passing has left a huge hole in the hearts of his family, his friends, his church, and his community! Bryan Lee was Lead Pastor of Elements City Church and was on mission to bring the hope and light of Jesus to the heart of Tucson! He led with humility and had a steadfast faith in God that allowed him to dream big and take risks for how to reach others to build the kingdom! His motto was, “Leave people less alone and less hurt” and he lived this out every day of his life! He loved and served others with all his heart and would lend a helping hand whenever needed. He lived life intentionally by always greeting people with a smile, asking questions about their life, and trying to make connections with everyone to make them feel special! Bryan was the rock to #TeamLee! He was married to the love of his life Kimberley, for 21 years and has been an amazing father to his three kids, Lakin, Landen, and Lawson. He loved them absurdly by making the best steaks, pork chops, and homemade popcorn, being their coach, taxi, chef, car mechanic, referee, counselor, and most importantly being a shining example of how well he loved their mother and served his community! He wore many hats throughout his life. He loved sports, especially baseball! He loved coaching his son in Palo Verde Little League and at Emily Gray Junior High. He also coached Varsity baseball at Rincon High School in the early 2000’s. He always would tell his player, “Pressure is a privilege”! He also was the Founder of the Refuge Center, a Non-Profit that did bible studies in the food court at the mall, brought worship nights to public high schools, and mentored teenagers that were working off hours for community service. Worship and music was another one of his passions. He was the owner of Amplified Productions and Consulting. He used his gifts and talents to serve many ministries and churches, always sharing what he had. He is son of Doug and Fran Lee, brother of April Lee Clark (Tom), brother-in-law of Michelle (James) Vilchis, Shannon (Paula) Boyer, and Uncle to Kinzey, Embry, and Hailee. Bryan is now worshipping his creator face to face. “Lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6 A Celebration of Life for Pastor Bryan will be held at 5:00 PM on Sunday August 9, 2020 at Pantano Christian Church 1755 South Houghton Road.
