The dad had attended the show with his brother Aaron, niece and nephew.
His niece Lilly Claydon posted an emotional tribute on Facebook alongside a photo of Lee at the gig.
He can be seen beaming alongside Lilly with his arm in the hair and a bucket hat on.
She wrote: “What a night we all had lee. The best uncle, I have no words I’ll never forget you uncle lee lee.”
The horror unfolded on Saturday as fireworks exploded around the stadium.
Lee’s devastated dad Clive Claydon, 75, told The Sun he believed his son had slipped on beer before the tragedy.
He added: “There was beer all over the floor, it was really slippery, and Lee just slipped and fell.
“I’ve been told that it was an accident waiting to happen. It was a horrible, horrible accident.”
Clive also told how Lee was a lifelong Oasis fan and had been looking forward to seeing the band reunite after 15 years.
He wept as he told how the “family man” was due to go on a big holiday in two weeks with his kids and girlfriend.
The dad added: “Out of all the thousands of people there why’s it got to be my son?
“I am going to miss him so much. Everyone will. I am so devastated.”
Lee’s brother Aaron, who had also attended the show, launched a GoFundMe which has now reached almost £20,000.
He had shared a Facebook post before the gig, with Lee commenting: “Cheers our kid”.
While Lee’s partner Amanda said she would “never stop loving you” and called Lee her “soulmate”.
She added: “I don’t have many words right now but it’s not fair and it’s not right that you’re not here with us!
“I am so grateful to have spent the time we had even though this cruel world has cut it way too short!
“We had so much to look forward to! I will try my best to be strong for all.”
On Sunday, Oasis said in a statement they were “shocked and saddened” to hear of the death of a fan.
They added: “Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved.”
A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium said: “Wembley Stadium operates to a very high health and safety standard, fully meeting legal requirements for the safety of spectators and staff, and is certified to and compliant with the ISO 45001 standard.
