George Lee was born July 10, 1946 in Bryan, TX to George Fort McDonald and Mary Edna (McWhorter) McDonald. He graduated from Stephen F. Austin High School in 1964. He went on to attend Sam Houston State University on a music scholarship. During this time, he put his education on hold to serve in the U.S. Army. Upon return from his service, he attended Texas A&M University, where he graduated with a degree in Agriculture Economics in December of 1973. In June of 1973 he married Nancy (Burr) McDonald, the one true love of his life. They spent 51 years together, through the ups and downs and everything in between having lots of fun and adventures along the way.

George Lee had several exciting work opportunities that could have taken him down many different paths in life but his one true passion was being a cowboy. God used this passion to touch many lives through George along the way. He was the music director at Rock Prairie Baptist Church in College Station Texas for 43 years. Even when he wasn’t in front of a congregation God’s love and light shone through him in his daily work.
