Dwight Anthony Lee, born on June 18, 1969, in Columbus, Ohio, who left us on October 1, 2025. Dwight was the beloved son of George N. Lee Jr. and Catherine L. Dalton. He was preceded in death by his mother, Catherine L. Dalton; grandfathers George N. Lee Sr. and Theodore Jackson; grandmothers Gloria Lee, Margurite Lee, Hattie Sherman, and Joyce Jackson; aunts Antoinette (Toni) Lee, Beverly A. Taylor, and Judith (JuJu) Bethel; uncles Theodore Jackson and Paul Jackson; and dear friend and brother Shawn "Big M."
Dwight is survived by his father, George N. Lee Jr. (Loretta); his beloved daughter, Brittany; brother Gregory Lee (Kira); sisters Gloria Lee and Akeia McCamey; uncle Reginald Lee (Bev); aunts Brenda Owens, Renee Lee, and Elvira (Ray) Burley; as well as a host of cherished cousins.
Known for his love of life, Dwight was an avid fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Dallas Cowboys, and the Philadelphia 76ers. He worked as a warehouse associate and spent time living in Arizona before returning to Columbus, where he worked at Zulily until its closing in December 2023.
Dwight found joy in watching movies, TV series, and listening to music. He had a talent for recommending the best shows and ensured that family and friends had their Amazon and Fire TV sticks updated with the latest apps. A true social being, he enjoyed connecting on Facebook and was always there to lend support to his loved ones. With a laid-back personality, he delighted in laughing, riding bikes, spending time with friends, playing video games, and cherishing moments with family.
Dwight will be remembered as a wonderful son, brother, cousin, and friend, whose spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
Special acknowledgments to Rod and Roger Harper and the Harper Family, along with cousin Kevin Jackson for their unwavering support during this difficult time.
Visitation will be held from 11:00am to 12:00pm with a Memorial Service immediately following on Monday, November 3, 2025 at Diehl-Whittaker Funeral Service 1370 East Main Street, Columbus, Ohio 43205.
