Lee was the oldest of three sons, including Patrick Allen Lacy and Michael Leon Lacy. The family moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he graduated from Central High School in 1956. Lee and his former spouse, Ann Kennedy, had one son (Marty). He moved to San Antonio in 1956 and pursued a career in the masonry business. He met Beverly Jean Buchhorn and they married in 1960, later having their daughter, Christen. Lee served in the U.S. Army during the Berlin crisis. Lee and his brother, Mike, and mother, Kathryn, owned Lacy Masonry, Inc in San Antonio for 23 years. Lee and Bev lived in New Braunfels for 38 years.

Lee was a passionate lifelong fisherman, owning his first boat in high school and pursuing saltwater fishing for many happy years at the family beach house in Rockport. He also enjoyed flying private aircraft, and hunting deer and turkey.

Upon his retirement Lee and Bev moved to the family ranch near Kendalia and Blanco. Lee cared for a herd of Texas longhorns, llamas, sheep, goats and miniature donkeys. In the process, he met many wonderful neighbors who became valued friends. Lee loved to sit on their porch, admiring the view of the Hill Country with a cup of coffee, while visiting with family and friends.

Lee was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Pat. He is survived by Beverly, his wife of 66 years, of Blanco; his daughter, Chris (John) Milani of Southlake; his son, Marty (Linda) Ottinger of Birchwood, Tennessee; his granddaughter, Lacy (Doug) Ingalls of Southlake; his grandson, Reagan (Malissa) Milani of Bulverde; and his great grandsons Raylan Ingalls and Knox Ingalls. He is also survived by his youngest brother, Mike (Lucretia) Lacy of New Braunfels.

Lee’s ashes will be scattered on the family ranch in a private ceremony. His legacy lives on in the land he loved, the animals he cared for, and the family who will always call the ranch “home” because of him.
