He was also a loving father whose family meant everything to him. Lee is survived by his children, Ashley (Wagner) Fultz and her husband, Ryan, of Lewistown; Robert Wagner; Sara Mowery and her companion, Cullen Smith; and Hunter Mowery, all of McClure. His family continued to grow through his grandchildren, Cayden, Owen, and Colton Fultz, along with Oakllen and Easton Smith.
