Lee

Donor

Lee Carter was a larger-than-life personality in his community.  Well known and well-loved, Lee “made an impact on the world that cannot be denied”.  Lee was a loving father and beloved son.  He is widely known for creating LeeG News, where he reported on community news, sports and local events. 

At the age of 29, Lee made the decision to register as an organ, eye and tissue donor.  On May 12, 2023, the selfless decision Lee made years before, allowed him to save the lives of 4 people, give sight to two others through cornea donation and helped heal many others through tissue donation.  Of the many names family and friends will remember Lee by, none will surpass the honorable and noble title of “lifesaving hero”.
