Lee Alton Harrington Jr.
Obituary
Lee Alton "Bubby" Harrington Jr., peacefully passed away to our Heavenly Father in Antioch, Calif., on Aug. 9, 2023. Lee was 71 years old. Lee was a dear tribal elder for the Xolon Salinan Tribe.
Lee was born and raised within the Xolon-Salinan homelands of King City, Calif. Lee spent most of his adult life in the East Bay and resided in Antioch. For the past 40 years, Lee built a successful business as a Plastering Contractor.
Lee was a hard worker and always wanted to make sure his dedicated crew had employment. Lee always gave his nephews and many family members an opportunity to learn the trade and business.
Some of Lee's joys in his life were cooking, barbecuing and baking for his family and friends. He took pride in every dish and cake he prepared. Lee was also a deer hunter; he hunted within the homelands and enjoyed many hunting trips with his brother-in-law to Colorado. Lee's most joy was reading and studying the Word from the Bible - it gave him much comfort and peace within his spirit. Lee also enjoyed hosting big Christmas parties with his families; he was a true gift giver.
Lee is survived by his wife, Carolyn; children, Kamela Sevey, Hunter Harrington, Summer Harrington; grandsons, Dominick Ash and Colton Sevey; sisters, Donna Haro, Alta Gabriel, Karen White and half-sister, Carol Lester. And many nephews and nieces.
Lee's extended Step-Family: daughter, Tori Naro; son, Garrett Dugger; grandchildren, Jalyn Zeeb, Jeremy Naro; six Dugger grandchildren; also five great-grandchildren. Lee's extended family was a true blessing to him.
Lee was preceded in death by his parents, Lee Alton Harrington Sr., and Dorothy Garcia-Harrington; and sister, Alladean aka Dee Armstrong.
Lee taught all of us a little something about life. Lee's beautiful singing voice and embellished laughter will forever ring within our hearts. …and now he dances with his ancestors.
A Celebration of Life will be held privately for family and friends at a later date.
