Anthony Michael Lee, 44, passed away peacefully on September 6, 2025, in Clyde, OH. He was held in the loving arms of his wife, just as he wished, also with his mother by his side.
Born on April 22, 1981, he graduated from Bellevue High School in 1999 and went on to dedicate 26 years of service to The Bellevue Manufacturing Co. in Bellevue, OH. His commitment to his work was matched only by his devotion to those he loved.
Anthony shared a deep and enduring bond with his wife, Jessica (Feltner) Lee. They were married on June 24, 2023 a union that brought him immense joy and strength during the most challenging chapter of his life. Diagnosed with prostate cancer almost 5 years ago and additionally bladder cancer last year, Anthony defied all expectations through sheer willpower and the unwavering love he shared with Jessica. Despite his cancer battles, he once told her, “Of all of the chapters of all of my life, the ones with you are the most beautiful.”
He was a proud father to Anisha Delarber of Copley, OH; David and Jade Lee of Monroeville, OH; and Livia Lee of Bellevue, OH. He also embraced and cherished his role as a stepfather to Molly and Margo Klakamp of Clyde, OH.

He was preceded in death by his father Carl Kimberlain in 2021 and cousin Anthony Insana in 2013.
For over a decade, he was a proud member of the Sunday Funday Pool League—a group that brought him camaraderie and countless memories. He had an undeniable passion for music and never missed an opportunity to grab a microphone for karaoke. Whether camping under the stars or taking rides on his Harley whenever health allowed, Anthony found joy in life's simple pleasures. But above all else, he cherished time spent with family and friends.
