Mr. Lee Andre' Carter

Lee André Carter was born July 26, 1980, in Lexington, Kentucky to the union of Rose M. Carter and the late Leroy C. Carter. He was called home from this life at the age of 42 years on May 12, 2023. He was a member of the graduating class of 1998 of Bryan Station High School. He later attended Northern Kentucky University and Kentucky State University where he studied Journalism. He was employed at the University of Kentucky and Sedona Taphouse. He also was a former columnist for Lextropolis Magazine (a digital magazine) and the creator of LeeG News, where he reported news of the community, sports and local events through social media. When he was only 5-years-old, Lee made his profession of faith in Jesus Christ at Main Street Baptist Church under Pastor Benjamin S. Baker. He grew up actively involved in church ministries and auxiliaries—which included Sunday School, Children’s Choir, Youth and Young Adult Choir (one of the “Main Street 7”), Youth Usher, MSBC Boy Scouts Troop, and serving as a Junior Deacon. In the dual roles of son and father, Lee shared a close bond with his mother, who lovingly called him “Grasshopper,” and he in turn called her “Champ.” Later becoming a father himself, Lee gladly embraced that role and was proud of his son DeAndré. He took great pride in parenting and watching a younger version of himself grow into a fine young man. As a father, Lee sought to instill Christian values within his son, as well as the importance of seeing higher goals in life. Lee’s interests included his passion for art, poetry/writing, and freelancing as a journalist which led to his development of the media site, LeeG News. Having a passion for art, Lee began drawing and sketching as a young child with a particular focus on sneakers. (He later shared this interest in art with his son—DeAndré.) Included in his writing was a poem entitled “I Was Never Told,” noting many points of Black History that are not widely known, and two songs he composed. In addition to his father, those preceding him in death included maternal grandparents, Lida M. Simpson and James W. Simpson; paternal grandparents, Mamie Chambers and Walter Chambers; and two cousins, Octavia R. Sanford and William Edwards. Remaining to cherish precious memories are his mother, Rose M. Carter; his son, DeAndré M. Carter; two brothers, Jyronna (Delmar) Parker and Torain Brown (Gulfport, MS); a sister, Cia M. Carter; a special friend and co-parent, Denesha Jackson; a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews; friends too numerous to count; and a loving church family.
