Lael Lee, 50, of Osceola, WI, passed away on Thursday, August 28, 2025, after a private and courageous 8-month battle with cancer.

True to his nature, Lael chose to face his illness quietly, wanting to protect those he loved from worry. The disease came swiftly, and time moved faster than anyone expected. By the time he was ready to share his journey, he no longer had the strength to do so.

In honor of Lael’s life and in the hope of saving others, his family asks you to take one simple but powerful step: If you're 45 or older, get screened for colon cancer. This cancer is often treatable when caught early — regardless of your gender, symptoms, or family history. Don’t wait. Early detection can save your life.

Yes, I understand that every life must end. As we sit alone I know someday we must go. Oh I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands the ones I love. Some folks just have one, others, they got none. Stay with me....Just Breathe - Eddie Vedder

A celebration of life is being held from 1:00 - 4:00 pm, Monday, September 1, 2025 at PY's Saloon, 109 N Cascade St, Osceola, WI 54020.
