John Henry Lee was born on December 5, 1955 in San Angelo, TX, and was eventually adopted by his parents Robert E. and Eva Dell Lee. He graduated from W. W.

He went on to find his career calling in transportation, and worked his way into senior management at D.A.R.T. as a Senior Manager over bus and Light Rail Divisions. After 29 years, he retired from D.A.R.T. and spent a few years in California then Cincinnati with a private transportation contractor, Transdev.

The couple has two children, Dr. John Cody Lee and Laura Huffman, and two grandchildren, Eva Huffman and Landry Lee. John Henry’s family circle extended to his many close friendships, which arose from his time at D.A.R.T. and Transdev, as well as through his hobbies which included fishing, hunting, golf, riding motorcycles, and many, many more.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that his friends make donations to that foundation so that we may help them do the same for someone else.
