Dr. Sang Il Lee, age 88 of Commerce Township, passed away May 7, 2024. He was born September 3, 1935 in Seoul, South Korea to parents Sang Woo and Yong Won (Kim) Lee.

The eldest of eight children, Sang graduated from the Seoul National University College of Medicine. Often self-taught, he was a gifted and intelligent man, as well as a highly respected physician in emergency medicine. Sang’s gentle and caring demeanor not only made him a good doctor and coworker, but also a genuine and kind soul to all who knew him.

A devoted husband and father, Sang instilled a drive in his children to succeed and was always supportive in all their endeavors. As he raised his children, his positive guidance was evident. He was truly proud of his children’s accomplishments. Although Sang dedicated most of his life to the care of others, he did enjoy his time with family. He and his late wife, Choung, enjoyed traveling the world together, especially on cruises. Sang will be deeply missed by all who loved him.

Dr. Sang Lee was the beloved husband of the late Dr. Choung Cha Lee. Proud father of Dr. Peter Lee (Dr. Clara Hwang), Sandy Lee (Dr. John Lee), and Richard Lee (Mimi Park). Loving grandfather to eight grandchildren. Dear brother to five brothers and two sisters.
