Lee Glanton McCurdy, age 47, died unexpectedly at his residence at Sutherland Bluff Plantation on Monday evening, February 29, 2016. He was born May 12, 1968, in Savannah.
The son of Jimmy McCurdy and the late Janis Anderson McCurdy, Lee spent his childhood and young adult years in Glennville, Georgia. Upon his marriage to Stephanie Turner, the couple moved to Shellman Bluff, Georgia, where they enjoyed coastal living with their children: Turner, Anderson, Mollie, and Spencer McCurdy. Lee was the owner/operator of Lee McCurdy Construction, LLC; McCurdy Properties, LLC; M&R Utilities, Inc.; and McCurdy Farms. He had an admirable work ethic but always found time and compassion to help others. He enjoyed life to the fullest, taking advantage of the many opportunities to indulge in fishing, boating, shrimping, hunting, and especially spending time with his family. Lee was innovative, building a flounder gigging boat, and making a cast net shrimping boat. He in particular liked offshore sport fishing and won several kingfish tournaments with his exemplary catches.
Lee will be fondly remembered by all who knew and loved him, as a loving and caring husband, father, brother, son, uncle, and friend. He always seemed to find time to fellowship with family and friends.
He was a charter member of Cornerstone Bible Church in Glennville and attended Shellman Bluff Baptist Church.
