Robert McKee Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 17, 2017.
Robert "Cowboy" Ray McKee was born on March 4, 1957 in Albuquerque, New Mexico to Robert L. McKee and Sue Menser. Cowboy hung up his boots and hat and headed for his heavenly ranch on July 16, 2017.

He was preceded in death by his daddy; grandparents; sister, Theresa Alvarez Dickerson; three brothers-in-law, Dennis, Al, and Rob; and a niece Megan Karabinos.

Surviving are his paternal aunts who raised him, Mary and Marilyn McKee of Terre Haute; his mother, Sue Porrazo of Manteca, CA; five sisters, Cindy McKee-Wilson and husband Willie of Lady Lake, FL, Beth McKee Donna of Blanford, Pam Karabinos of Manteca, CA, Michelle Aaberg and husband Russ of Newman, CA, and Tina McKee Beard of West Union, IL; 12 nieces and nephews; 24 great-nieces and nephews; aunts, Nancy Clayton, and Kay French; uncle, James McKee and wife Myong; and many cousins.

Cowboy never met a stranger. He loved cowboy hats, Big Macs, Mountain Dew, and American Flags.

He was often found either holding his bible, a pamphlet or a Mountain Dew "with the green lid please".

The family would like to thank the staff, nurses and residents of Res Care (Normal Life) and Hospice of the Wabash Valley.

Private graveside services will be Private at Roselawn Memorial Park, with Pastor Michael Higgins officiating.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
