Lee, Thomas Edward, Kirkwood, MO, born into eternal life on May 27, 2026, at the age of 71. Beloved only child of the late Kathlyn Janet Lee (nee Cafmeyer) and James Elmer Lee.
Tom was a proud graduate of Maine South High School in Park Ridge, IL and Saint Louis University (“SLU”) in St. Louis, MO. He was a member of Alpha Delta Gamma National Fraternity at SLU and was actively involved in all aspects of fraternal life. After receiving his BA from SLU, Tom became a career accountant operating a tax accounting and financial planning business. While at SLU he was a goalie on their NCAA Division 1 men’s hockey team. His love of hockey started at a young age while growing up in the Chicago suburb of Park Ridge, IL and continued throughout his life. Tom was an avid hockey fan following both the Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues. He also maintained a lifelong allegiance and undying support for the Chicago Cubs.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution in Tom’s memory to the St. Louis Blues Warrior Hockey (https://www.stlblueswarriorhockey.com/) program which supports disabled veterans across the Greater St. Louis Area.
