People who knew Paul Lee knew he loved to dance.
During a public memorial service for Lee, 19, who died on June 5 after a shooting at Seattle Pacific University, more than one person tried to give meaning to his spontaneous moves, which seemed boyish and fun on the surface.
Dominic Kan, one of Lee’s youth pastors, thinks there was something divine in how the young man danced.
“People who have seen Paul dance, have seen him worship(ping) God,” Kan said to the audience at Village Baptist Church in Beaverton.
Lee was described as a faithful Christian, but one that was constantly probing friends, mentors and professors for what that exactly meant.
During the service, which attracted people from as far away as Korea, fellow Westview High School graduate and Seattle Pacific alum Ronald Comoda performed a dance tribute.
Comoda chose Michael Jackson’s posthumously released “Love Never Felt So Good” as his music for the freestyle dance, which is improvised. He says he heard the song in the days after Lee’s death, and was inspired.
“It expressed to me the ideal emotion: of how it feels to be happy,” Comoda explains. It seemed “perfect for how (Paul) celebrated life in dance.”
