Jackie “Lee” Younce, Jr., 58, of Elkton, MD, died peacefully at home on March 5, 2024, surrounded by his loving wife and close family, following a battle with Alzheimer’s. He was born in Havre de Grace, MD, in 1965, to Jackie Lee Younce, Sr. and Patsy Sue Younce. 

​

Lee grew up and attended Elkton High School in Cecil County before owning and operating several successful local businesses. He loved fishing, hunting, and being outdoors. Above all else, he loved Jesus, and spending time with his wife and grandchildren. He would tell others that the greatest thing he ever did, was finding Jesus. He generously contributed to many charities, churches, and individuals. He traveled on mission trips to Cuba, Africa, Haiti, and India, to share the love of Jesus with others. 

Lee married the love of his life, Lori, on June 30, 2016, and warmly welcomed his new stepchildren.

Lee and Lori’s family lovingly expanded to include stepchildren Brett Davis, Devin Davis, Adam Snyder, and Austin Snyder. Lee also enjoyed being a grandfather to Olivia Davis, Colton Davis, Sophia Davis, Carter Snyder, Paisley Snyder, and Cooper Snyder.
