LEE SHIELDS Lee "Bones" Shields went home to be with the Lord Dec. 29, 2008, at 
the age of 71. He was preceded in death by his parents, Rolla Lee and Irene 
Shields; and his brother, James Shields. Lee was born June 6, 1937, in 
Bartlesville, Okla., on the grounds of a baseball park, the oldest of three 
brothers. Lee moved to Las Vegas when he was seven years old and lived in 
Sunrise Acres where he made a lifetime of friends. He went to the 5th Street 
School and was a 1955 graduate of Las Vegas High School. In June 1956, Lee 
married Bobbie Morris, and they had three children, DeeDee, Duane and Patrick. 
For three years (1961-1964) he was a reserve in the Nevada National Guard, 
serving as a senior track vehicle mechanic. Lee had many varied jobs, including 
Western Union and Glaser Brothers. In 1967, he found his calling when he joined 
the Clark County Fire Department. He served for 24 years and obtained the rank 
of engineer. While on the department, he became a brother to many. Strong 
lifetime bonds were formed. In 1988, he married Tree Linda Salyer and enjoyed 
20 years of traveling and adventures. He started sand racing in 1997, and 
stepped up to asphalt racing, helping his son, Duane, on his race team "Shields 
Racing." His hobbies included working on and restoring old cars, drag racing, 
travel (not so much on airplanes) and Miller Lite. Lee is survived by his 
beloved wife, Tree Linda Shields; brother, Alan and Sandi Shields; daughter, 
DeeDee and Lou Gardella; sons, Duane and Betsy Shields and Patrick and Kelly 
Shields; his grandchildren, Brianna, Evan, Whitney, Adam, Sydney, Kennedy and 
Skylar; many nieces and nephews; and a host of friends. Lee was a good husband, 
father and friend who will be sadly missed by all of us. Visitation will be 5-6 
p.m. Friday, Jan. 2, with Vigil to follow at 6 p.m. Funeral Mass will be at 10 
a.m. Saturday, Jan. 3, all at Christ the King Catholic Community Church, 4925 
S. Torrey Pines Drive.
