Lee Kendall Griffin, a proud Veteran of The United States Air Force, passed away on January 20, 2022.

The son of Nina and Francis Griffin, Lee was born April 15, 1950, in Baltimore, Maryland, and attended Catonsville Senior High School.

At the age of 18, Lee enlisted in The United States Air Force. He valued his service highly and attained the rank of Master Sergeant, retiring from Hurlburt Field AFB with 24 years of service. As part of his service, Lee served in Vietnam and in support of Operation Desert Shield/Storm. While serving in Vietnam he earned the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Device along with the Vietnam Campaign Medal. After retiring from the Military, Lee served his community as a Mary Esther City Councilman.

Lee had a passion for computers, astronomy, baseball, and corny jokes.

He also enjoyed hockey, sailing, Formula 1 racing, MotoGP, and watching Disney movies with his daughter, Jackie.

He was a mild-mannered man with a calming demeanor who lived a life dedicated to serving his country, town, and family.
