After Googling Lee R Wilson Grenade, I've found that Lee R Wilson could be a reference to R. Lee Wilson, who was killed while throwing himself on a grenade to save his comrades: Wikipedia Page on Robert L Wilson Rebelgecko 06:01, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Aha, I think I found it. The Robert Lee Wilson reference seems to be a coincidence. Here is what I found, from an interview:
Joe Tung: Just in case you don't know, he's the only Bungie employee with an achievement named after him. The Lee R Wilson Memorial (Score 5 grenade sticks in any ranked free for all playlist.
Lee Wilson: It's for sticking people with plasma grenades.
Pro-G: Why is it named after you?
Joe Tung: Because he can't shoot a weapon.
Lee Wilson: Because that's pretty much all I do. But I got pretty decent at it.
Joe Tung: No, you're -blam!-.
