Message: At the early May town council meeting in Smithfield, N.C., I saw Marlon Lee and a older man with a white hair ponytail. I told Marlon Lee I loved him and he said he loved me, too, then I said to the man standing with Marlon, AND, he is a friend of my brother's, too! As I promised last year at Juneteeth, when Wingate Lassiter's The Smithfield Weekly Sun covered the Juneteeth parade, I said I'd always be there, Marlon said it takes all of us to get through this mess. I remember when Marlon Lee was a groomsman in my dear youngest brother Will's wedding in PA. I was a bridesmaid, and we had fun. Marlon Lee had a big,huge heart as a child and same he was as an adult. Marlon Lee was a CHRISTIAN, and he was a good man. I have a hole in my heart but will keep fighting the good fight for our lifelong childhood friend. I hope the family is resting their hearts, and I am praying for you during this extremely painful time. I am so very deeply sorry for your tragic loss. Wish there was something I could do to bring Marlon Lee back. We need him here, Like Jesus Christ, in Matthew 4:20. when the disciples said NO, Jesus Christ said "Get away from me, Satan," this was God's plan. We should do all we can to preserve Marlon's legacy in memory in the town of Smithfield, N.C. Love, Anne

Message: To the family of the late Marlon Lee:
My mother and I are deeply saddened to learn of Marlon passing. We will remember him for the very selfless person that he was. Marlon will also be fondly remembered for bringing treats to my mom during various holidays from Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. We both looked forward to seeing him and we will truly miss that. Marlon always gave of himself so freely and the Smithfield community has been rewarded! I know God welcomed Marlon home saying, “Well done thy good and faithful servant.” A good and faithful servant he was and may the family be comforted in knowing that Marlon exemplified this so very well!!
