They married on May 20th, 2017 at their home in Snohomish, WA and gave birth to their daughter Vera Grace-Barrera Lee on October 17th, 2017. Alan was a respected teacher, mentor, colleague, basketball coach, and most loyal friend. His smile and laugh would illuminate the room to cheer up others around him, and he had the biggest heart, with compassion for all creatures. He believed in civil and social rights and often spoke up about injustices of the world around him and challenged everyone to seek their fullest potential in life and do what was right in their "truths." He was a lover of all types of music genres, but especially hip-hop, jazz, reggae, and classical, and was a big believer of all things natural, organic, health-driven, and everything in its purest form. Alan had the sweetest left-stroke on the basketball court, played the saxophone, percussion, and piano for many years and inspired many to find their passion in music and in sports. He played piano daily for his daughter Vera. Alan's legacy will live on in his wife, Elizabeth Lee Barrera, and their children, Akira, Vera, and son due in July 2019. Alan's passing was preceded by his grandfather, Keng-Hsu Lee, father-in-Law, Jess Barrera and beloved dog, Irie. His mother Po-Ping Lee, father Song Lee, brother Jerry Lee will cherish his loving memory forever.
