Luke Wen-Yen Lee
The funeral for Luke Wen-Yen Lee of Portland will be at noon Saturday, November 30, 2019 in the chapel of Holman’s Funeral and Cremation Service. Interment will be at 2:00 p.m. at Finley-Sunset Hills Memorial Park.
Mr. Lee died of lung failure on November 21, 2019 at Portland Adventist Medical Center at the age of 86.
He was born on March 16, 1933 to King Chang Lee and Yu Hsuan Lee in Canton, China. After earning a Bachelor of Laws from Soochow University in Taiwan in 1958, he immigrated to the United States in 1960. In 1962, he married Kit Ha Lee in San Francisco.
Mr. Lee attended the University of Idaho where he earned a Master’s Degree and a Doctor of Philosophy Degree, both in Political Science.
Mr. Lee moved to Portland in 1973, where he worked in the title insurance field and the import/export business, with a focus on the Pacific Rim. After the passing of his wife in 1990, he became a Political Science instructor at Portland Community College until his retirement in 2008.
He is survived by three sons, Alexander of Portland, Cyrus of Lake Oswego, and Felix of Camas, Washington; six grandchildren; and four sisters, Rebecca Ho of Houston, Frances Lee of Ottawa, Man Ken Lee of Vancouver, Canada, and Wendy Chung of Toronto.
The family suggests that remembrances be contributions to the Chinese Presbyterian Church in Portland.

Dear Luke's Family, Old and Young, Far and Near, I celebrate Luke's well accomplished and life and share your sadness with you. May you find comfort, peace, love, strength, joy, and hope in the following quotes with the Lord's promises & His own resurrection: “I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love." -- Leo Buscaglia "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16 "25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” 27 She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” -John 11:25-27 With Love & Prayers, Pastor Carmen Wong
