Lee Roy Voss, known for his love and great hugs, was born in Levita, Texas and died in Irving. He is survived by his wife of 32 years, Doris Coleman Voss, his daughter and her husband, Tonna Miller Brock and Wayne Brock of McKinney, daughter-in-law, Nikki Potter Voss of McDonough, GA, five grandchildren, Myka Miller of Los Angeles, CA, Mekala Miller of Dallas, Luke Miller of Richmond, VA, Amy Loffredo and her husband, Stefhen of McDonough, GA, and Austin Voss and his wife, Sofia of Tucson, AZ, and two great-grandchildren, Alex and Sophia Loffredo. He had many "adopted" children, Arnoldo Briceno, Janice Kurtz, Debbie Hranicky, and Randal Schaeper - to name a few. He was preceded in death by his parents, three brothers and two sisters, wives, Joan Copeland Voss and Linda "Scottie" Jenkins Voss, and son, Roger Voss. He enlisted in the Army on his 18th birthday and fought during World War II on Okinawa and loved his country very much. He will be buried at the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery as he wished. He worked in the aerospace industry and was proud of working on the first Apollo mission that sent man to the moon. He was a scheduling engineer first in McGregor, TX and then at LTV (Vought Corporation) in Grand Prairie where he retired twenty-six years ago. The Voss house was the local hangout while Tonna was in high school and he is well remembered for his "hospitality, good advice, and spoiling us rotten". Lee could fix nearly anything and helped many elderly people from pedicures to plumbing, never accepting any payment. He said one of his best years was when he helped a dying homeless man during the last year of his life and was successful in re-connecting him to his family. He started working on a computer in his late seventies and would edit and format his style of the Presidential Prayer Request at three in the morning to send out to friends and family. He continued this using several magnifiers at a time until last year when his macular degeneration and vision issues prevented him from doing so. Lee was a member of First United Methodist Church in Irving and he and Doris were the sponsors of the Agape Singles Sunday School Class where they "adopted" many children. He loved and accepted people unconditionally. He was so excited about building a new sanctuary and tirelessly worked on the committee. He loved and served members of his church and community. He said many times that having cancer 15 years ago was one of the best things that ever happened to him because of all the beautiful people who became another part of his family. Lee had his first bypass surgery with 7 "jumps" at age 51 and had 4 arteries re-done at age 65. He had carotid surgery at 80 and a defibrillator implanted at 85. We feel he was a miracle man who just kept ticking and are so blessed to have had him in our lives all these years. He often told friends and family not to worry, "Worry is a darkroom where negatives are developed." We will miss hearing him tell everyone he met, "Im too blessed to be stressed." He had a packet of information he prepared for handling his passing and he had this quote on it: "Miss me a little not too long, And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love we once shared, Miss me but "PLEASE" let me go." His service will be held at the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery at 2000 Mountain Creek Parkway, Dallas, TX 75211 on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 at 11 AM, Lane A. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to First United Methodist Church, 211 W. 3rd St, Irving, TX 75060 or your favorite charity.
