Daezhar Lee

Daezhar Arrestes Milton Lee, a vibrant soul born on August 13, 2007, in Washington Court House, Ohio, left this world unexpectedly on September 2, 2025. He was a beloved son, brother, grandson, uncle, and friend, whose life, though much too short, was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

As he approached his senior year at Miami Trace High School, Daezhar was known for his radiant personality—full of life, generosity, and compassion. His big heart touched everyone he met, and he lived his life on his own terms, embracing every opportunity with enthusiasm. Daezhar found joy in making Tik Tok videos and was an avid fan of Madea movies, often sharing smiles and laughs with those around him through his hobbies.

He leaves behind a family that adored him deeply: his mother, Lisa Diffendal, and her partner Joshua Ames; his father, Derrick Lee; his siblings Tre Thomas (Sierra), Tiairra Thomas (Dylan), Darrien Lee (Aundrea), Jalynn Lee, Jakarri Ames (Maddie), and Josie Ames. Daezhar was cherished by his grandparents, Leah and Will McFadden, Wilbur Lee, and Ellen Wilson. He is also survived by his loving uncle Will Frederick, aunts Traci Richendollar, Amber Wilson, and Chrissy Harding, and his little nephew, Pharaoh and niece Lynnin, whom he loved playing and spending time with, stepsisters, Mariah and Haven McGraw, and stepbrothers, Tyrrell Gray and Dodge McGraw. Additionally, he leaves behind a multitude of great aunts and uncles, cousins, and countless dear friends.

Among his proudest accomplishments was his journey of self-acceptance and coming to terms with who he was as a person. This realization and self-discovery made him an inspirational figure among his peers, and his tenacity will forever be remembered.

Daezhar's passing leaves a void that cannot be filled, but the memories he created will stay alive in the hearts of those who loved him. He was predeceased by his grandfather, Roger Diffendal, a sister, Jeslyn Ames, and stepmother, Linda Lee. Their spirits will surely welcome him with open arms.

Visitation to celebrate Daezhar's life will take place on Friday, September 5, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Roberts Funeral Home in Washington Court House, Ohio. A funeral service is planned for Saturday, September 6th at 1:00 PM, with Pastor Patrick Gamble officiating. Burial will follow in the Washington Cemetery.
