Aubrey Lee Durrence

Aubrey Lee Durrence passed away on November 8, 2026, at Memorial Health University Medical Center in Savannah, Georgia at the age of 66. He was born on January 15, 1960, in Statesboro, Georgia to Aubrey and Gail Odom Dasher and lived a life marked by hard work, generosity, humor, and deep love for his family.

A 1978 graduate of Pinewood Christian Academy, Lee built a career through dedication and skill. He began working with MG Gilbert as a contractor for Georgia Power as a tree surgeon. After 10 years, he started his own business, Durrence Tree Service, and led that successful business for more than 30 years. His strong work ethic and commitment to his trade left a lasting impression on those who knew him and worked alongside him.

Outside of work, Lee enjoyed the things that brought him joy and kept him close to the people and way of life he loved. He was a NASCAR fan, loved farming, and especially treasured spending time with his family. He will be remembered as a kindhearted man who would give you the shirt off his back. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was a natural jokester; if he was not picking on you, he did not love you. That playful spirit, along with his generous heart, made him someone others were always glad to be around.

Lee is preceded in death by his parents, Aubrey E. Durrence, Leighton and Gail Dasher.
