The family of Steven Marcus Lee, 51, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to participate in their hero’s final journey. We are honored to fulfill this request.
Our hero enlisted in the Marine Corps on 30 January 1995 and was honorably discharged 29 March 2000 at the rank of Lance Corporal (E-4). While serving, he was awarded the National Defense Ribbon and the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon. Very little is known about his MOS and duties.
After his five-year service with the Corps, Steven worked in the banking industry for over 25 years. He held various roles across multiple financial institutions. He was well known for his professionalism, dedication, and strong operational knowledge.
He had many interests to include cooking (his wife states he was a “great cook”), shooting, camping, the woods and nature, anime, and old school JDM cars. He also enjoyed watching Netflix and YouTubers.
Steven leaves behind his loving wife, Aki Noguchi, and sister, Annie.
