Mr. Thaddus Lee Jennings, Jr., also known as “Lee”, 57, was called home on February 16, 2020. He was born to Thaddus and Thelma Berkley of Burkeville, Virginia on November 27, 1963.
Lee attended Central High School in Lunenburg, Virginia. He left school at an early age to start working. He loved working in the logging bushes with his close friend, Howard Pride. Lee was a “Jack of All Trades”, no matter what job needed to be done Lee was ready to help, even if he didn't know how to do it. He loved playing poker and loved his beer.
