Our beloved Lee Hamilton Hale, 51 of Winfield, WV entered into eternal rest with the Lord on Saturday, May 18, 2024, after a long illness. Lee was born on September 1, 1972, in Charleston, West Virginia to Rodney Hale and Judy Clark Hale.
Loved and missed by his mother, Judy Hale, sister, Leah Hale, nephew and nieces, Jacob, Lilly, Lainey, all of Winfield, WV. and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Lee was a 1991 graduate of St. Albans High School. He proudly followed in his father’s footsteps and entered the Boilermakers Local 667 apprenticeship program. He became a dedicated member of the Boilermakers Local 667 union in 1996. Lee worked as a journeyman and welder for the Boilermakers Local 667 from 1996 until his death. Lee worked the past several years as General Forman at John Amos Power Plant. Lee loved his work and excelled at his trade. He viewed his brothers and sisters in the Boilermakers as family.
Lee had a passion for cooking, building new things, but most of all Lee had a love for people. Lee’s quick wit, mischievous grin, and calm demeanor attracted others to him, and he never missed an opportunity to get to know a new friend. Lee brought joy and laughter to the lives of all who were fortunate to know him. Lee’s unwavering friendship and his tender heart made him loved by so many who called him friend. He was a great Uncle Lee loved to spoil his nephew and nieces.
He is proceeded in death by his best friend and father, Rodney Hale, paternal grandparents George and Olivene Chandler, and maternal grandparents Mirrell and Hallene Clark.
We will celebrate Lee’s life at 2:00 pm, Wednesday, May 22, 2024, at Curry Funeral Home with Pastor George Chandler officiating. Burial will follow at Orchard Hills Memory Gardens. Friends and family will gather one hour prior to the service at the funeral home.
To Judy and the Hale family
Was so sorry to hear the tragic news of the loss of you son Lee. It is hard to imagine the depth of sadness I know you must be feeling. While nothing can change the situation, hopefully it helps some to hear of friends and colleagues who are thinking of you and extending thoughts of sympathy and support.
Take care
Sincerely,
