Robert Thomas Lee, detto Robby, era il fratello minore di Amy Lee. Amy scrisse la canzone The Cartoon Network Song nel 2004 per lui:

Mio fratellino ha 10 anni ed ovviamente ama Cartoon Network, che è anche il mio canale preferito. Così sono andata a Cartoon Network e sono stata intervistata da una pupazzo, ho scritto una canzone scadente con la chitarra che riguardava Cartoon Network e di quanto l'amassi e di quanto mi mancasse durante i tour, ed era veramente stupida. In un certo senso me ne rammarico, ma in realtà no. Il mio fratellino ha festeggiato in modo scatenato. E gli abbiamo dato ogni genere di gioco, anche della robaccia.

Nel 2005, Amy diede vita ad una campagna insieme a Epilepsy Foundation chiamata Out of the Shadows per diffondere maggior consapevolezza sulla malattia the condition as Robby suffered with severe seizures from a young age.

Nel 2016 Robby ha collaborato alla cover di Hello, Goodbye, dell'album di musica per bambini di Amy Lee, Dream Too Much.

On January 11, 2018, Amy posted the devastating news that Robby had passed away.

Today I said goodbye to one of my best friends in life, one of my favorite people on earth, my irreplaceable little brother, Robby. If you knew my family, you knew him. He was the absolute best of us, everybody’s favorite, our hero. He inspired and influenced so many people. He was incredibly kind, loving, thoughtful, generous, witty, hilarious, selfless. He loved music. He loved animals. He loved people. More than anything he loved us, and he always showed us. Robby battled severe epilepsy since he was 7 and we always knew our time together was precious- he loved like every day could be the last. He always told us he loved us, every single time we were together. May we all live like that- don’t waste any time. I love him more than I could ever say in words, and I will miss him every day for the rest of my life. He will always be such a huge part of me. Sweet dreams, Rob. I know we’ll be together again in heaven. And I’ll see you in my dreams.
