I was in incarcerated when this happened and I just want to say that I'm so sorry for everyone who has had to grieve his loss. Tay was always a funny guy. I've always been apart of the Lee family and hearing this made me hurt so much for the pain you all had to go through. Knowing that when I see y'all I won't see him is not going to feel right. 😔😔 Also for his wife's family, I'm so sorry for y'all's loss. May God be with each and every one of you as you continue to grieve in strength. I'm praying for all of you. -Meagan Brown.

Haley and all the family of Tay Lee please accept my sincere condolences. I had the privilege of being one of his high school teachers & Tay was an extraordinary young man. Kindness was his nature, he was always willing to help however with the most humble mannerisms. He had such a good heart & a disarming smile. My prayers are with you all as you go forward.

Octavius will surely be missed. When my late wife passed away, he was one of the first people to consistently check on me. Myself, him, Montay, and William all used to hang out after we graduated Centennial. I want to thanks the immediate and surrounding Lee family throughout the years, from Asia @ Johnson elementary, to Troy who gave me money when I was 15 at the mapco when I had none. Y'all are eternally in my prayers and to Haley Lee, I'll make sure to get you some info about widowhood and some support groups. Thank you so much for the memories. -Zerrick Quartey Currie and especially on behalf of my late wife who Tay made sure I had someone to lean on. Love you all
