He met a tragic death at an all-too-young age, but the legacy of hope and help that was left by Lee West remains alive in our community.
West was the type of young man who never met a stranger, a person who always looked for the best in everyone and someone who always was willing to help others. He greeted everyone with an open heart and a smile.

Founded by his mother, Cookie West, family members and friends, the organization works to keep his memory alive by recognizing area residents who go out of their way to make life better for everyone in the community.
