The Oregon Department of Transportation lost a member of our family Thursday afternoon. Perry D. Lee, 60, was a Transportation Maintenance Specialist 2 with the Oakridge Maintenance Crew. Perry had been an ODOT employee for 23 years and with the Oakridge Crew for his entire time with the agency. He was working outside of Oakridge when he suffered a medical emergency and died during transport to the hospital.


“We at the Department of Transportation send our sincere condolences to the Lee family and friends for this loss,” said ODOT Director Matthew Garrett. “Perry was a valued member of the ODOT family. His contribution to his district was enormous and we will miss him terribly.” 

Please take a moment to share your condolences, thoughts, and remembrances of Perry.

  3. When Perry came into the office, he was always smiling from ear to ear. We had a recent conversation about retirement, racing to be the first. So sorry to hear of his passing. He was much too young. Prayers to his family and friends. He will be missed by his ODOT family.
    God speed, Perry.
