Lee Edward Alman

It is with both sadness and gratitude that we announce the passing of Lee Edward Alman, age 79, who left this world peacefully at his home on September 13, 2026. Born on June 2, 1947, in Grand Haven, MI, to Paul and Bonnie (Sandel) Alman, Lee lived a life full of love, adventure, and service. A proud veteran of the U.S. Air Force, he honorably served for four years, including a deployment in Vietnam where he was recognized as an excellent marksman and earned a Purple Heart.

Lee married the love of his life, Maxine Dazey, on October 22, 1966, and together they raised two children, Sheila and Anthony. After Maxine's passing in 1999, Lee found love again with Gail Dolbow Rezny, marrying her on June 4, 2018. Lee and Gail enjoyed a beautiful life together, filled with joy and cherished trips, especially to Reno for Keno, where laughter and love were abundant. During Lee's last year, Gail's devoted care brought him comfort and companionship.

Known for his skill as a sheet metal journeyman, Lee dedicated 23 years to his craft, working first at Bastian-Blessing and then at Heyworth in Holland, MI. Beyond work, he was a passionate outdoorsman who never missed a deer hunting season and organized numerous fish fries at the Grand Haven VFW, sharing his love of fishing with friends and family.

Lee's generosity knew no bounds. He had a compassionate heart and was always ready to lend a helping hand and financial assistance, often moved to tears by the challenges faced by others. His support of St. Jude's Children's Hospital exemplified his commitment to making the world a better place.

A celebration of Lee's life will be held at a later date, where family and friends will gather to share stories, laughter, and joy in remembrance of a remarkable man who touched so many lives. Interment will take place at Grand Haven Township Lakeshore Cemetery, where Lee will rest.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Gail Alman, and son, Anthony Alman. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Maxine; daughter Sheila Arnold; and brothers Tom and Brad Alman.

In honoring Lee's legacy of kindness, hard work, and generosity, we invite all who knew and loved him to join us in celebrating his remarkable life. Please visit www.clockfuneralhome.com to leave a memory or sign the online guestbook.
