Jaleeyah "LeeLee” Tune was born August 26, 2012 to Michael Johnson and Whitney Brown-Tune. LeeLee was the third child born to her mother and the third child born to her father. She attended Bethel Church where she grew closer to the Lord. Jaleeyah attended Eastern Wayne Middle School and was known for her bubbly personality and her strong opinion. She was very caring to others around her. Her smile was infectious, and she loved everyone she encountered. LeeLee will be remembered by her smile, dance, Tik-Tok videos and her favorite saying "You Doing Too Much."

 

LeeLee, also lovingly known as DaQueen LeeLee or LeeLee the Biggest, was the kind of girl who made her presence known wherever she went. You’d never catch her outside without her edges laid, and you could always count on her to be the life of the party. Outspoken and unapologetically herself, LeeLee never held back her feelings and would argue her point until you were too tired to keep going. If there was a party, she was going to enjoy every moment, and she was definitely leaving with a to-go plate. A proud cheerleader, LeeLee made sure everyone knew when she was cheering and when she wasn’t. When it came to dancing or TikTok moves, she was the one teaching everyone how it’s done. Always in front of a camera, she loved taking pictures and videos, and if she ever got hold of your phone, you were guaranteed to find random clips of her smiling, posing, or being silly. Most of all, LeeLee was a true daddy’s girl, and she lovingly called her father “My Hero.”
