Celebrating the life of
James Leland Tee
Passed away on February 09, 2023
James Leland Tee, 81, passed away Thursday, February 9, 2023 at his home with his loving family by his side. He was born October 26, 1941 in Iowa to the late Joseph James Tee and Rosemary Smith Tee. He and his wife lived in Iowa before moving to Arizona in 1971, then finally making their home in Savannah in 1988. James was a family man, and loved nothing more than spending time with his children and grandchildren. He lived for working in his yard, especially pulling weeds. When he went to visit family and friends, he always leaned down and pulled a few weeds from their yard.
In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his sister, Vicki Morrow, and his brother, Michael Tee.
He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Susie Tee, his children, Melissa Tee of Savannah, Mike Tee (Debra) of Kentucky, and Lisa Rupe of Iowa. Also surviving are his six grandchildren, Heather, Joe, Aaron, Aaric, Austin, and Jessika.
No local service will be held. A private burial will be held at a later date.

I am sooo sorry for your loss. Jim was a good man and loved his family more than anything. I’ll never forget our camping trips and just watching him love the way the life was to him. I’ve known your family for most of my life… and your family was more of a family than my own. My loss is deep… and my love for you is strong. My most heartfelt condolences to Susie, as I know this new journey for you will be most difficult. You’re an amazing woman and leader, and I know Jim loved you soooo much! My heart is broken, just know I’m always here for you and the family. My most deepest condolences, Tracey
