Kris and family,
you have my deepest sympathy. May God give you comfort that passeth all understanding as only He can.
When our manison is ready, God calls us home to occupy it and I believe Bubba's is right besides Roy's and they are both praising our God forever.
Bubba was so special to me when he came to my house with my son Bobby in their teen-age years they both were bullriders and our whole family loved him then as they still do. May God give each of you a very special blessing during this time of sorrow.
Love to all,
Ferne Pettingill

Man what can you say about our ol' friend Bubba Lee, he was a fixture in rodeo in Arkansas for decades, as was his father. I remember one time Bubba was going to a rodeo with me at Searcy and he got some bulls up for us to practice on before we went. I did not even know he was sick but it looks like he had peace when Christ called him home, what a kind soul he was, happy trails my freind.

"Bubba" will be forever present in the thoughts and memeories of countless rodeo fans around this community. He loved and knew bulls and could have easily been know as the "bull whisperer". His kindness and respect for others was a characteristic to be cherished that few people have in today's society.
The last text I send him said "We don't know what tomorrow holds but we know who holds our tomorrow". Bubba's tomorrow has come and he is now in the arms of Jesus. We love you Bubba.

Our sympathy goes to all of Bubba's family. We haven't seen you in several years, but often think of back in the Rodeo days. I first met Bubba in 1974 at the Plainview Rodeo. In fact, he introduced Donnie and me. He told me that he had a friend (a bullrider) he wanted me to meet that Saturday night. So, as soon as Donnie got to Plainview, he hunted me up and introduced us. We were married in 1976. We are forever grateful to Bubba. You all special to us. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Bubba was my friend for our entire lives. He was always so kind and polite. He stopped by to see me often and was always smiling.
We talked one afternoon about his salvation and I know where he is. I am thankful that some day I will get to sit down and talk with him again and knowing he isn't in anymore pain gives me great peace for him. He is now in the presence of the Master and bathing in His love.
I am thankful to have called Bubba my friend, and will only say farwell untill we meet again.
