Retired SFC Randall "Lee" Whitley, 54, of Fayetteville passed away on Monday, January 22, 2018.

He was born on May 21, 1963 in High Point, NC.

Lee served 22 honorable years in the US Army, 17 years of that time in Special Forces Command. He settled in Fayetteville to be close to his children, Christy and JD.
