Frank (Francis) Lee

June 9, 1944 – April 5, 2023

June 9, 1944 – April 5, 2023

Passed away suddenly and peacefully at home in Victoria, having lived a full life.  In fact, he was hours from traveling on the next adventure to some of his favourite haunts in the UK and Europe (especially Paris). He is predeceased by his father Joe, mother Betty, brother Edward and his dog Sinchia.  Survived by his devoted and loving wife Jane, daughter Vanessa (Will), daughter Jennifer (Jason), son Justin (Leila) and his grandchildren, Jayde, Kurtis and Sinclair, who he adored with all his heart. He will be sadly missed by his brother Richard (Jill) and many extended family in Victoria and the UK; in addition to his friends who are as fun loving as himself.

Frank was full of life, he had a positive impact on so many, he was cheeky, mischievous and loved having people in his home. He spent his career as a CPA, CGA and ran his accounting firm for many years, loving the community he built around him and his many clients, however he was always happy when April 30th rolled by and he could get away on his overseas adventures. You are no longer here Dad, but we hope you are smiling the biggest smile, free to explore the world even further on your bike with an ice cream, a bagel or a pastry in your hand! We will remember your Frank’ism’s forever and will miss you oh so very much!  We hope you can now “Take it Easy!”

In remembrance of Frank and other past Saanich Rotarians, tributes, if desired, may be made to Dana Henly at the Camosun College Foundation for the Rotary Club of Saanich Memorial Bursary, 4461 Interurban Road, Victoria, B.C. V9E 2C1. Funds are used to help young people and single mothers with their education. Please join the family for an open house to Celebrate Frank’s Life (Le Tour de Frank) at the family home, Friday April 28, 2023 from 3pm to 6pm.

  1. Frank and I met when we both needed a change in pace in 2009. I wanted to find a local practice to buy and he was selling. Frank turned out to be the best teacher and mentor that a new public practitioner could dream of.
    I will miss his wit, patience, endless knowledge and mostly his sincerity. Very few people are as true as Frank. I will miss him dearly.
    Condolences to Jane, the children and family.

  2. Jane & family, so sorry to hear this very sad news. Sending our thoughts and prayers to you all. Ginny & Bob

  3. Sending condolences to you Jane and your family. I am sure Frank will be sorely missed. Sincerely Fran.

  4. Frank and I worked together as Saanich Rotarians for many years. He was a true gentleman and good friend. Sometimes you don’t realize how important someone is until their gone. A laugh and a smile I hope never to forget. My sincere condolences to Jane and family.
