Christopher Lee

Christopher Lee, born on August 31, 2001, captured the hearts of those around him with his dependable, thoughtful, and compassionate nature. Tragically, on September 28, 2024, he was taken from us too soon, leaving behind love and cherished times that will forever resonate in the lives he touched. 

A proud graduate of Harker Heights High School, Class of 2020, Christopher exemplified determination and passion. His proudest accomplishment was joining the Air Force, a testament to his dedication and commitment to serving his country. He was not only an airman, but also a beloved son, brother, and friend. His family recalls with fondness the long FaceTime calls with his mother which made her feel as though he was still at home, bridging the distance between them. His sisters, Kimberly Ann Lee Burkett and Susan Michelle Cole, will deeply miss his unwavering guidance and the way he effortlessly helped them navigate life's challenges. Their brother was more than just a sibling; he was a source of comfort and support, always ready to offer a listening ear or a helping hand. Christopher’s father, Matthew Joseph Lee, is left with a heart full of memories, mourning the loss of everything that made his son special. Christopher's kindness, humor, and zest for life will forever linger in the hearts of those who knew him.

Beyond his devotion to family, Christopher cherished spending time with friends, reveling in the joys of playing video games, discussing anime, and passionately supporting his favorite soccer player, Son Heung-min. His laughter and enthusiasm illuminated the lives of his companions, leaving an indelible mark on their hearts.

The community will gather to remember Christopher on October 15, 2024, at Northside Baptist Church in Nolanville, Texas. The visitation will begin at 10:00 AM, followed by a funeral service at 11:00 AM. A memorial graveside service will take place the following day, October 16, 2024, at Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery in Killeen, Texas, starting at 2:00 PM.

Christopher Lee's spirit will live on through the many lives he impacted. As we honor his memory, we take solace in knowing that those who loved him carry a piece of him with them forever.

Arrangements are entrusted to Crotty Funeral Home & Cremation Services of Belton.
