Webb Ryan Lee 9/23/97 – 8/29/22
Webb Ryan Lee passed away suddenly on August 29, 2022 at the age of 24. He is survived by his mother, Lindsley Wallace Mace; sister, Meaghan Lee; grandmother, Ann Wallace; grandfather, Robert E. Lee Sr. He is preceded in death by his father, Robert E. Lee III; grandfather, Webb Lindsley Wallace; grandmother, Mary Carney Lee and many life-long friends.
We were blessed by Ryan coming into this world almost 25 years ago. Named after his beloved Grandaddy, who had him riding a horse before he could walk, he could not have been more loved. Growing up, Ryan was a gift to everyone who knew him – charming, sweet, funny and clever. He loved the outdoors, fishing, camping, snowboarding and enjoying nature all around. Ryan loved and had strong empathy and kindness for animals. As a young man Ryan was skilled with his hands, had a head for engineering and while at UNM made plans for himself to go into construction management. With the encouragement of a family friend, he tried his hand at jewelry making and dreamed of going to New Zealand to search for the perfect gemstones.
Ryan was deeply loved by his friends and was regarded as fiercely loyal and steadfast. He had a special bond with each of his grandparents always treating them with great respect and kindness, always ready to pitch in with a helping hand. He had a twinkle in his eye and a mischievous grin that cannot be replaced. Ryan, you are forever loved and will be forever missed until the day we can rejoice together in Heaven.
Memorial services will be held on Thursday, September 8 at 3:00 PM in the chapel at the Rivera Funeral Home Kiva Chapel of Light, 417 Rodeo Road.

I knew Ryan for most of his life. He was not only the son of one of my best friends, but also one of “my boys”. He had a great heart, and it was always good to have him at birthday parties or just hanging around the house. I hope he is now at peace, and will always keep him in my thoughts and my heart.

In middle school, I dealt with most of the usual insecurities 8th graders deal with. I worries if I would ever be accepted, if I would ever be “cool”, if I would ever have friends. I had known Ryan for several years at this point but he and I really weren’t close. But something about middle school changed that. Every Friday Ryan and another friend of ours would come to my house. We adhered to this tradition religiously, the three of us always indulging in pizza and cartoon shows. When I look back I realize that this was the start of my growing out of the usual insecurities and into a feeling of acceptance of who I was. The consistency that these two friends provided were a big part of that. As middle school turned to high school and then college I always saw how Ryan was fiercely loyal of so many of his friends. It was this loyalty that made him such an important person in my own life. Even though we took different paths, he was someone who I always knew had my back no matter where I was. I will miss him and cherish the moments I have had.
