Cristen L. Lee, 42, of the Salem community in Picayune, Miss., died Wednesday, 
Feb. 13, 2013.

Survivors include his wife of 19 years, Kristen Garland Lee; daughters, Jenna 
Morgan and Mallory Noel Lee; parents, Jeff and Ginger Lee; brothers and 
sisters-in-law, Jeffery and Debbie Lee, and Randall and Stacie Lee; 
grandmother, Hattie Fern Johnson, and nieces and nephews, Marrissa, Christina, 
Jody, Bryce, Kyle, Ryan, Cecily, Brandon, Delaney and Shea. He was predeceased 
by his grandparents, Lovell Pete Johnson, Curtis Lee and Ina Lee, and sister, 
Darla Gayle Lee.

The Picayune native was a Salem Landmark Missionary Baptist Church member. He 
was first and foremost a Christian who believed strongly in having his family 
in church. He left a great testimony for others to follow. He was a loving and 
kind father who enjoyed riding four-wheelers with his two girls through the 
fields and spending quality time with them.

The Pearl River Central High School graduate married the love of his life. He 
was an absolute joy to be around as the one who could be relied upon always to 
"lighten" the load. He loved to play golf with his family and was an amateur 
chef, enjoying cooking and creating new food surprises for family and friends. 
In his spare time, he enjoyed creating beautiful mantles and other furniture.

He worked as an investment broker for J.P. Morgan Chase in Slidell. He was a 
former contractor and formerly the manager of Salem House Restaurant.

Funeral services will be held Feb. 16 at 2 p.m., with visitation starting at 11 
a.m., at Salem Landmark Missionary Baptist Church in Picayune, Miss. 

Burial will be in Skipper Cemetery. 
Elders Gary Sumrall and Dewayne Long will officiate the service.
