Lee had been hiking up this trail on Monday, May 6.  He experienced a sudden and fatal heart attack, and was found that morning by hikers.

On May 14, a small group of the volunteers along with Lee's sister, Virginia, went up to the site of Lee's passing for a memorial visit.  This is on the Brown Mountain Trail about 1 mile up from the Millard Canyon parking lot.  The pictures above show the cross made by John Harrigan, and planted by Brian Marcroft; the other shows some of the group in attendance.
