Jonathan Lee Lyle

Jonathan Lee Lyle, 52, passed away on Sunday, August 18, 2019 at home surrounded by his family. Lee was born on June 2, 1967 in Carroll County, GA and was raised in Lake City, GA. He held a captain's fishing license and was an avid saltwater fisherman. He enjoyed being on the water with his Dad and many friends and spending time at his family-owned marina, The Shrimp Docks Marina in Sunbury, GA.  He was also an avid fly fisherman and spent many summers out west fishing and camping. In Lee's earlier days he was a true rock 'n' roller as a drummer in several local Atlanta bands. He was the owner of Lyle Mobile Fire Protection and a former partner with his brothers at The Shrimp Docks Restaurant in Sunbury. He was a member of Compassion Christian Church and volunteered with the children's ministry at the Midway Campus.
