December 10, 1978 - August 1, 2024
Lee Gage Popham, 45, originally of Vilonia, AR, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, August 1 ,2024. Gage was born on December 10, 1978 in Little Rock, AR to Robbie Wright and Sam Popham.
His magnetic personality captured the hearts of everyone lucky enough to know him, while his quick wit and dry sense of humor always filled a room with laughter. To know him was to love him, and to love him was a privilege. Traveling and seeing all things new made him the happiest. What joy he must be feeling to have now completed the most extraordinary journey of all. Although his passing leaves us heartbroken, we find solace in the fact that Gage is in the arms of our Lord and Savior and once again reunited with his two favorite people, Nana and Papa Frazier, along with Uncle Henry (Hall) and Nanny (Robie Popham Permenter).
Left to cherish his memory are his parents, Robbie (James) Wright and Sam (Tami) Popham; sisters, Haylee (Chad) O'Kelley, Tori (Ryan) McCarty; a niece, Landree; a nephew, Lawson; his sweet Teh Teh (Terry Hall) and many other precious aunts, uncles and cousins.
Gage will be laid to rest during a private Graveside Service at Cypress Valley Cemetery in Vilonia, AR on Saturday, August 10, 2024 at 10:00am.
Pallbearers will be Sam Popham, Haylee O'Kelley, Chris Hopkins, Branson Hall, Chad O'Kelley and Josh Glover.

Dear Sam, Robbie and all of Gage's family,
My heart breaks for your loss. In the days ahead I continue to send prayers of comfort as you grieve. Jesus told the thief on the cross, "Today you will be with me in Paradise." Luke 23:43. Gage now lives in a place we can't imagine, but reunited with him you will be someday.
