ORIGINAL POST: Round-Up Saloon employee Lee Williams has died in a car accident, according to a notice from Round-Up manager Kevin Autrey to the rest of the bar’s staff.
Autrey said that a friend of Williams had called the bar and told another employee about the accident, saying that Williams was on his way home from a trip to the casino in Oklahoma when the wreck happened. A friend in the car with Williams was also killed.
“Lee was a good man and an invaluable employee who did a great deal for our club and did it with a smile on his face and a great attitude,” Autrey wrote. “He was a friend to everyone, and he’s going to be missed. … This is a sad, sad day.”
Numerous posts have been made to Williams’ Facebook page from friends mourning his death, each one speaking of his kindness and his friendliness. “You had a heart of gold,” one friend posted.
Dallas Voice will share details for services when they become available.

I think you should get your information from direct sources( his employer or family) not Facebook. Remember there is a personal side to this his family and friends. It is still in the process and this article comes off cheap and lazy. DO BETTER!
This information came from his employer, as is noted in the blog post.
I guess you verified that? This change from a leaked internal post before his family confirmed it. No beef but being the first to post ain’t always the best.
Some people need to be reminded that there are no winners in an unfortunate tragedy and that while we could waste time speculating about other people speculating, it doesn’t change the facts.
Allow for those of us who knew him to read this and digest it. I can guarantee his family is not consumed with who or how the sources are merited. If the reporting methods bother you this much, go work for Dallas Voice and change it.
I applied to Dallas voice and they won’t hire me
