The day you stepped into my life we bonded from the start. You brought happiness and love into my heart with your charisma, kind, gentle, loving spirit and special friendship in which we shared. There is no other like you - you were beautifully unique and wonderfully made by God. You touched the lives of so many with your captivating personality. Your caring ways. You'll always be remembered in every sunset and sunrise and every moment of my life. Te extraño mucho mi amigito. 💖

I am saddened and shocked by this news. I will always remember Clarence this way on the beach which he loved so much flying his drone. He will always shine bright! Rest in peace Clarence you will be missed! ♥️

To one GREAT supervisor, Clarence Lee, you will be greatly missed.  This man was one of the best with such a great heart!!  I remember one day at work I wasn't feeling well and my blood sugar dropped.  Lee saw I wasn't feeling good and went over to the vending machine and bought me a Gatorade and told me to go sit down and feel better.  He had compassion and feelings for others that a lot of people don't care.  We stayed in contact after he left Manasota for active duty in the military!  He'd share his tik tok funny videos or just say hi!  He was going to come back to Manasota and now it is with a broken heart I won't get to see him again in this lifetime.  I pray for his family and I pray for his mother that God gives her the comfort she needs and God heals her heart during this difficult time.  Till we meet again brother one day in Heaven, see you then!

Lee among our colleagues, clerk supervisor, and, not in photo, maintenance mechanic and custodian at the Orlando P&DC, in a moment of celebration I believe for an employee.

My heart is broken to find this out. He was a sweet and caring guy. Always enjoyed spending time together when the opportunity arose.  He wanted a house near the beach , when I retire and move to Santa Rosa Beach area and I am able to get  one I will name it The Lee Beach House. Many prayers for the family especially his mom.

Clearance show me what true love was. He was my best friend. He was one of the first persons I meet when I move to PCB. He  was a honorable,loyal and a ton of fun. He love to smile and I WILL ALWAYS LOVE HIM.  See you soon Lee!!

Extremely sad to post that SSG LEE has passed away….. a great battle gone way too soon. Praying for his family 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Definitely shocked to find out you’ve passed. It’s been a while, but I truly appreciate you getting a young 2nd Lt Gardner through that first deployment. RIH Clarence Lee

Your legacy of leadership and mentorship will live in the lives of those you touched, MSG Lee.

I met Lee when he started working at the Post Office.  We are both Navy Vets and immediately bonded. Our lives and struggles were similar and we became brothers  in Spirit.  I thank God for bringing Lee’s Energy and Spirit into my life and when I think about him I will ALWAYS remember him as someone who shared his  Love of Life of wanted the same for everyone.

Family and friends of Clarence Lee, the shocking news of his passing feels like a ton of bricks. Clarence always, always lights up any room he walked unto. His megawatt smile and blast of energy motivates you to forget your troubles and just LAUGH. He was a mentor and have left an indelible mark on many lives, including his Soldiers of the 195th Expedition Terminal Operatios Element (ETOE), U.S. Army Reseve. I pray God saves his soul.

R.I.P. Clarence 

With Regards,

Not an "in your face guy", but not a shy guy either, he was not only "in the know" but was the best NCO I ever worked with, taking both the 505th PMT and the 195th ETOE where it was supposed to be.

A true gentleman, I always wanted him to become a warrant officer. But he always wanted to be with the soldiers, serving others, mentoring, and "making things happen".

MSG Lee was a soldier's soldier, always in the middle of the action.

MSG Lee was one of the Soldiers that always had the answers or had a solution to a problem .He loved his family and talked about them all the time.
I am really going to miss him.This is not a good bye it’s I will see you later .
This one’s hard 🙏🏾🥲🇺🇸

Sending my condolences, love ❤️, and prayers.

Sending prayers and condolences to the family. Love you all ❤️

During my time working in Panama City with Clarence, he had been both a mentor and friend. I always knew I could go to him for personal advice and career advice--his door was always open for any conversation. He always pushed me to get to the next level, no matter where or what that was, and he always offered guidance for doing so. He was the kind of guy that wouldn't just "tell" you where to go, but he would "show" you where to go (sometimes even literally drive you there). Clarence Lee was the example of a noncommissioned officer, teacher, and friend.  I will miss our time working together but will always remember it. 
Rest in peace, Clarence.

Sincere condolences to MSG Lee's family and friends.  We will miss him in Panama City, he was an integral part of our team and his passing has left a huge void.  We are grateful for his service and contributions to our country.
