Lee Scofield Nesbitt, Jr.

Lee Scofield Nesbitt, Jr., 70, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on May 1, 2026, in Glens Falls, New York. Born on July 26, 1955, Lee lived a life centered around family, hard work, kindness, and helping others. A proud veteran, Lee honorably served in the United States Air Force from 1973 to 1977 as a Medical Service Specialist. Following his military service, he worked in construction, where he became known for his strong work ethic, dependability, and willingness to lend a helping hand whenever someone needed it. Lee had a heart bigger than life itself. He was the kind of man who would give the shirt off his back to help someone in need. He loved deeply, cared fiercely for his family, and left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him. He also had a lifelong love for music and enjoyed playing bass guitar in his younger years.

Lee was predeceased by his father, Lee Scofield Nesbitt, Sr.;  brothers, Brian Bentley Waite and Scott Waite.

Lee is survived by his beloved wife, Sheryl Anne Nesbitt; his children, Candi May Lash, Melissa Lee Hughes (Daniel), Lee Scofield Nesbitt III (Siobhán), Joshua John Nesbitt, Dylan Scott Fischer Nesbitt (Bianca), Heidi Seider (Chris), and Rebecca Beaver (Jason); his mother, Virginia Allen; his brothers, Glenn Nesbitt (Trudy) and Mark Waite; and his sisters, Londa Baker, Robin Vecchione (Vincent), Darlene Legendre (John), Melanie Beamon (Steven), and Lenise Patrick (Ron). He was a proud grandfather to Dakota Robert Lash, McKenna Juliet Lash, Mikayla Jean Hurt (Justin), Michael James Wickham (Carly), Gavin John Wickham (Emma), Jacob Lee Hughes, Jameson Daniel Hughes, Maebh Nesbitt, Renee Elizabeth Galusha, Liam Patrick Nesbitt, Remington William Fischer Nesbitt, Maelynn Everlee Fischer Nesbitt, Sophiana Rose Fischer Nesbitt, Jaycee Jones (Jeremy), Caden Jensen (Lexi), McCrae Rhodes (McKenna), Austin Rhodes, and Makayla Everton (Carsen). Lee was also blessed with great-grandchildren Bennett, Brooklyn, Kashden, Jameson, Maggie Sue, Macie Mae, Scotty, McClain, Elaine, and Abigail, all of whom brought him tremendous joy.
