A Tribute to Lee Eshleman

The 91¶ÌÊÓÆµ community grieves the untimely death of Lee Eshleman, a 1986 91¶ÌÊÓÆµ graduate, on May 17.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Reagan, children, parents, extended family, and the many friends impacted by this tragic loss.

Lee, along with Ted Swartz, a 1989 91¶ÌÊÓÆµ graduate, helped thousands of people see the biblical stories in a new light through his work with the comedy duo Ted & Lee.

We all enjoyed much laughter together; now we surround Lee’s family, and their closest friends with our tears and shared grief.

— President Loren Swartzendruber
