Lee Jay Eyre, 63, of Union City, Michigan passed away Sunday, October 11, 2026 at Select Specialty Hospital in Battle Creek, Michigan.
A memorial visitation will be held Friday, October 16, 2026 from 4:00-7:00 p.m. at Lighthouse Funeral & Cremation, 1276 Tate Trail, Union City, MI. He will be laid to rest privately at North Sherwood Cemetery at a later date.
Lee was born March 29, 1963 in Battle Creek, Michigan, to LaVern and Elizabeth (Roe) Eyre. He grew up in Climax and attended Mendon High School. He lived in the Athens and Union City area all his life.
Lee worked for Arcosa (formerly Griswald’s, G.M.E., and Trinity) in Union City as a purchasing agent. He retired in 2025 after 40 years of loyal service.
He was a hard worker but could be quite stubborn. His family laughed as they recalled that it was usually “his way or the highway”. His family loved him the same and will miss his presence in their life.
Survivors include; his children, Christy (Jason) Brown of Battle Creek, Lee (Beth) Eyre, Jr. of Union City, Jaylyn Eyre of Union City and Rob (Angie) Haley of Elizabethton, TN; his mother, Elizabeth DeMerrell of Climax; his siblings, Bill Eyre of Climax and Becki DeMerrell of Climax; his brother-in-law Charles Smith of Dowling; his grandchildren Codi Pluymers, Jr., Alex Boyer, Lauren Boyer, Zoe Haley, Brooklynn Brown, and Skylar Brown; and his many nieces, nephews and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his father; his sister, Belinda Smith; and his grandson, Travis Haley.
