After a long illness, Arthur Leroy Lee, 88 years of age, passed away at home in Parker, Colorado, surrounded by family on Saturday, October 25, 2025.

Arthur, born June 19, 1937, in Vernal, Utah, was the second of six sons of Glenn and Marie Lee.

Art and his wife of 65 years, Theda Mae, daughter of Paul and Audrey Lyman, were married on September 12, 1960, and are the proud parents of four sons: Maury (Toni), Kerry (Hui-Shiang), Shaun (Hui Ju), and Brett (Susan). They also have twelve grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.

Art served in the United States Navy from 1956 to 1960 as an Interior Communications Electrician, Petty Officer 2nd Class.

His years in the Navy and the knowledge he gained in communications and as an electrician prepared him for a 30-year career in cable television. Art was a pioneer in the cable television industry, coming in on the ground floor and working his way up to Vice-President of Operations with TCI-CableVision.

Art had many hobbies and interests, including golfing, hunting, and traveling. He and Theda spent many years traveling to various countries around the globe and enjoyed RVing for several years. He loved spending time with his family and was always up for a game of cards. He had many life-long friends who he valued and who valued him. Art was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and had a lifetime of service to others.

One of the highlights of his life happened last year when he and Theda took their sons and their wives on a cruise to Iceland and Norway. It is an adventure that they will all cherish.

Art was preceded in death by his parents, his brothers Dennis, Larry, Dale, and George, as well as one son, Brett.
