This man was so much to so many!! He sacrificed so much for so many!! He truly loved family, friends, his many years of selfless military service (giving and providing freedom to those who at times are not appreciative). But for such a man of his statue the above responsibilities were not enough, he also deemed it necessary to protect and serve in a local capacity by becoming one of the best Deputy Sheriff’s in Hughes County known as Chief Deputy Weber (HEROES don’t wear caps). This man is a hero and showed it in every aspect until the end of watch. Lee Weber it was one of the greatest pleasures knowing you and being able to work with you. From our times at Camp Ripley to our times in Hughes County. Nothing but love my brother.
“Never Goodbye, Until We Meet Again BROTHER”
