Lee Earl Jolley

Lee Earl Jolley, born on November 6, 1953, rode off into the sunset on April 25, 2024. Lee was born in Elberta Utah to Kay Voyd Jolley and Carol Deon Beck. He was raised with 4 siblings, he loved Elberta so much he called it home his whole life. Leaving behind a legacy filled with love, laughter, and a whole lot of cowboy spirit. He wasn’t just a hard-working cowboy; he was the heart and soul of the farm, where he spent his days wrangling cattle and chasing dreams. Lee’s legacy also includes a life long career in the mining industry. Lee was a proud dad to his son, Blake (Angie) Jolley and 2 daughters Melanie Kehl and Amanda (Ana Rodriguez) Jolley. But let’s not forget his favorite role: being a grandpa to his 10 rambunctious grandkids. They were his pride and joy, and he never missed a chance to tease them. With his knack for teasing and his hearty laugh, Lee was everyone’s favorite cowboy. Whether he was telling stories from the farm or sharing a cold one with friends, he always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. Though he may have hung up his hat for the last time, Lee’s spirit will live on in the laughter of his loved ones and the memories they shared. Here’s to a life well-lived, cowboy-style. Rest easy, Dad. You’ll always be our favorite cowboy. Lee was preceded in death by his parents and two siblings.
