Charles Earl "Chuck" McAtee II

McAtee Family-
There are so many things to say in a situation like this, yet only a small amount of words can be expressed. I am extremely sympathetic in these terms, yet also extremely blessed to have been able to meet "Chuck". I met him through my dad Steve Smoot and only was in his presence a couple of times. These couple times were all times I can remember.
Lauren, I got to know you a little bit at BHS and I am so glad to have been able to meet you. Your mom and dad truly created...

Dear Cathy; Lauren, and Chase,

I want to let you know my thoughts and prayers have been with you everyday since I learned about Chuck's passing.
I feel so fortunate that I had the chance to talk with Chuck on May 3rd. He was on his way to Chase's game---I had to call him on Kentucky Derby Day--. Laureen and Chase I can only share that your father was so proud of you---he was excited about sharing details of your current interests. We said goodbye as he arrived at your baseball...

Dear Cathy,
My heart is breaking for you and your family. I remember when we worked together many years ago at The Kentucky Oaks Mall at The County Seat-The Jean Store. That seems like a lifetime ago. If I'm not mistaken it was then that you started dating Chuck. I always thought he was so nice and you all made such a cute couple. The Mom in me just makes me wish that I could make it all better for you. Just lean on the Lord and remember you've got a lot of people that care about...

Cathy and family,

We want to offer our sincere condolence as you go through this most difficult time of grief and loss. Though we are far removed from our high school years, we all still seem like extended family and when one hurts, we all hurt. I wish I had magical words that would comfort you during this time and take away all of your pain and sorrow. Unfortunately, I don’t. I believe the Lord will give strength and comfort to those who pray for it, and that’s what our family is...

It seems as if anyone who ever crossed paths with Chuck was blessed in some way by his wonderful personality. Everyone describes him using similar words - kind, loving, caring, happy, and the one word that came to my mind - jovial. I don't believe there was a time I saw Chuck that he wasn't smiling and happy. I haven't seen Chuck or anyone in his family since you all moved away, but I have wonderful memories of you. I was quite a bit younger when Chuck was a big part of my family, but he...

Cathy, Chase and Lauren - I went to school with Chuck and am Meshea Woodall's best friend. I always kept up with everything in your life through her or Mike and Barbara Kelly - Chuck always was bigger than life. Since Meshea called and told me the tragic news, you all have been in my thoughts and my prayers everyday! He was a truly unique, loving, fun man who I know will be greatly missed.

Dear Cathy, Lauren & Chase,

My deepest sympathies to you. I was blessed with the opportunity to meet you all and work for Chuck. I am thankful for those experiences and will never forget his kindness and the way he talked about you three. You are in my prayers.

Dear Cathy, Lauren & Chase,

Cathy we love you and pray for healing and comfort in this most diffucult time.
Ronnie & Rita Crenshaw
I am Robert Alexanders sister.

Kathy, Lauren, and Chase:
Chuck was such a blessing to Kevin and I when we needed an answer to our "situation" in our Real Estate beginning. We still have some Mac & Mac Signs at our house. His kindness and encouragement are the reason that Kevin is an Auctioneer today. He was a true friend to us and I feel very blessed to have known him. His loss has certainly touched our live. We will continue to keep your family in our prayers as I know how much "family" meant to Chuck. We are all...
