Brian Nathan Lee, 44, Adair County, KY (1982-2026)

Brian Nathan Lee, age 44, of Columbia, Kentucky, passed away at his residence on Sunday, April 26, 2026. Born on February 1, 1982, in Somerset, KY, Brian was a devoted family man and a respected member of his community.

Brian earned a Master's in Psychology from Western Kentucky University, a testament to his dedication to understanding and helping others. His professional life was marked by his ownership of Team Lee Photography, where he combined his talent and passion to create lasting memories for many families.


A man of many gifts, Brian was also deeply involved in his church, Egypt Christian Church. He took great pride in singing in the choir, finding special joy in playing the guitar, though his musical abilities extended to multiple instruments. Beyond music, Brian enjoyed spending quality time with his family and friends, cherishing those moments above all else.

He is survived by his cherished children--Maddex, Lennox, and Ava Lee, all residing in Bowling Green, KY. Brian also leaves behind his father, Delphus Lee, and stepmother, Cindy Lee, both of Columbia, KY; his sister Barbie Miller (Sam) of Bowling Green, KY; his brother Craig Lee (Tori) of Mobile, AL; and stepsister Kristy Lee of Owensboro, KY. Additionally, he is remembered fondly by several aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and other relatives who were fortunate to know him.

Brian was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Becky Lee, whose memory he carried with great love throughout his life. He was also preceded by his grandparents Sam and Louvern Lee and Perley Jr and Emma McCoy.

Funeral services will be 2:00pm Thursday, April 30, 2026, at Stotts-Phelps-McQueary Funeral Home with burial in the Haven Hill Cemetery. Visitation will be on Thursday after 10:00am at Stotts-Phelps-McQueary Funeral Home.

Brian Nathan Lee's warmth, talents, and dedication to his loved ones and community leave an indelible mark. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.
