Muskegon, MI—The Muskegon community is mourning the loss of Lee Eggerson III, affectionately known as "Lee Tha Barber." He passed away on Friday, August 9th, 2024, after a courageous battle in the hospital following a tragic incident earlier in the week. Lee, a beloved father and well-known figure in the community, leaves behind eight children and two grandchildren, with one more on the way.
Lee’s daughter, Jordyn Eggerson, has organized a GoFundMe fundraiser to support the costs associated with his cremation, celebration of life, and medical bills. So far, the fundraiser has raised $50, but the goal is to reach $10,000 to help ease the financial burden on the family.
The Muskegon community has been deeply touched by Lee’s passing, and many have taken to Facebook to share their memories and condolences. One heartfelt message from Izy Ish Gomez III recalled Lee’s ever-present smile and his love for spending time with his children at the mall. "Sure gonna miss you telling me let me get that beard together for you," Izy shared, reminiscing about the times they spent together. Tamar Porter Sr. also paid tribute to Lee, expressing his grief at the loss of his "big brother" and the many experiences they shared growing up. Tamar’s message included prayers for Lee’s children and gratitude to Tiffany Terrell for allowing him to see Lee one last time.
The love and support from the community are evident in the outpouring of messages, with friends and family reflecting on the profound impact Lee had on their lives. His warmth, kindness, and dedication to his family and friends will be greatly missed.
We extend our deepest sympathies to the Eggerson family during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and may Lee’s memory live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
