Duncanville, TX – The City of Duncanville extends its deepest sympathies to the family, friends, and loved ones of Robert Byron "Bob" Lee, who passed away on January 10, 2025. Bob Lee dedicated 39 years of remarkable service to the City of Duncanville, beginning in the Water Department and culminating in his role as Director of Utilities until his retirement in 1991.
Bob’s legacy is etched in Duncanville’s history. Known for his leadership, innovation, and tireless commitment to public works, he was the recipient of numerous accolades, including state and federal commendations and personal recognition from Governor George W. Bush. His contributions were celebrated locally with the establishment of “Bob Lee Day” in August 1991 and the naming of Bob Lee Boulevard in his honor.
Beyond his professional contributions, Bob was deeply engaged in the Duncanville community. As a longtime member and past president of the Duncanville Noon Lions Club, a volunteer with the Duncanville Chamber of Commerce, and a supporter of Duncanville FFA, he left an enduring impact on countless lives.
Bob was a man of faith, a loving husband to his late wife, Anita Jo Lee, and a devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. His steadfast dedication to both his family and his community is a model of integrity and service.
The City of Duncanville mourns his passing and honors his invaluable contributions, which continue to inspire pride and unity within our community. Bob will be laid to rest at Little Bethel Cemetery.
