About Dr. Alan Vincent Lee, MD:

Born on May 14, 1954, to the late Alice Marion Dunn and the late Willie E. Lee, Alan was raised in the City of Chester primarily by his mother and grandmother, Mary Tillery, who was instrumental in raising Alan and instilling discipline and structure in his life. Alan attended public school in Chester. He also attended Widener University, which is also located in Chester, where he overcame significant challenges to pursue his education.

As a young man, he was an avid animal lover and was deeply involved in his high school’s band, chess team, wrestling team, baseball team, and marching band; experiences that not only shaped his character but also reinforced his commitment to discipline, teamwork, and resilience—values that would guide him throughout his life.

His life verse was Philippians 2:3-4 (NIV) Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

Dr. Alan Lee earned his medical degree from Hahnemann University, a monumental achievement considering the obstacles he faced growing up. His story was a testament to his perseverance, determination, and the belief that healthcare is a fundamental right for all. Throughout his career, he dedicated himself to serving his community with kindness, respect, and an unwavering commitment to equality. He enjoyed playing with Umoja (Christian Stronghold Church Orchestra), listening to jazz (Grover Washington Jr. was his favorite saxophonist), and flight simulators.

He believed that every person, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status, deserved high-quality healthcare.

Dr. Alan Lee is survived by his wife, Veronica; his son Joshua; his step-father Ronald Willis; his two brothers, Richard Willis and David Lee; five brothers-in-law; four sisters-in-law; and a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family, colleagues, friends, and brothers and sisters in Christ. He will be remembered not only for his humble spirit and professional accomplishments but for his warmth, generosity, and commitment to making the world a better place for all.

Alan’s life was a testament to the power of faith in Christ Jesus, perseverance, compassion, and the belief in equal care for all. His legacy will continue to inspire and uplift for generations to come.
