He was born on May 31st, 1933 in Hapeville, Georgia to his parents Isaac and Birdie (Lynch) Davis.

A man of deep faith and devotion, Lee joyously served his Lord in many capacities over the course of his life. He was an active member of Rockdale Baptist Church in Conyers, and later, St. Andrews Baptist Church in Panama City, Florida.
