USMA Class of 1964.Dwayne Goldsmith Lee
May 11, 1942 - June 6, 2015
Dwayne Goldsmith Lee, passed away on June 6, 2015. A memorial service will be at Blacknall Presbyterian Church, 1902 Perry St, Durham, North Carolina, at 11 a.m., Saturday, July 11.

Dwayne Goldsmith Lee was born on May 11, 1942, in Waco, Texas, to Lazelle Goldsmith Lee, and Wayne Emmit Lee, where he lived until completing high school and matriculating to United States Military Academy.

Upon graduating with honors Dwayne served with the Army Corps of Engineers in Germany, Viet Nam, Dayton, Ohio, and Thailand, before returning to West Point where he taught in the Department of Engineering. Later postings included Okinawa, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and Washington D.C., where he served as a liason between the Army Corps and the United Stated Congress. Final assignments before retiring took Dwayne to Louisville, Kentucky and Vicksburg, Mississippi.

During his service he received the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, a Meritorius Service Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, and the Legion of Merit with Two Oak Leaf Clusters. Dwayne then became Deputy Executive Director of the Port of Los Angeles, followed by six years with Parsons Corporation, where he helped manage large water resource projects.

After a season as a consultant, Dwayne donated significant time and energy to water supply projects in Africa. Dwayne was a committed Christian, serving the church wherever he made his home. His motivation, given shape by Jesus' teaching on the use of one's gifts (Matt. 25), led him to a life of exemplary but humble service.

Dwayne is survived by his wife of 50 years, Nancy Ann Nelson Lee; son, Wayne Emmett Lee and Rhonda; daughter, Krista Ann Lee; and granddaughter, Grace Kasper, of Memphis, Tennessee. Memorial gifts may be made to Lifewater International. (www.lifewater.org, or by mail, P.O. Box 3131 San Luis Obispo, CA 93403. Please indicate "Dwayne Lee Legacy" with your gift.)
