Bob McKee

1936 - 2016

Bob McKee, 80, of Branson, Missouri passed away on September 8th, 2016 after a short illness. He was surrounded by family and friends who treasured his selfless love for God and all people. Bob was born June 28th, 1936 to Ralph and Louise McKee, along with a brother Leon McKee. After completing school he created many successful businesses and enjoyed buying, restoring and selling classic cars. Other than his parents, he is preceded in death by his son, Craig Chancellor and son-in-law, Jim Jameson.
In 1975, he married Linda McKee in Malvern, Arkansas. Along with their children Mike McKee, Marla Jameson, Craig Chancellor and Susan Smith, Bob could often be found outdoors hunting, fishing, and spending time with loved ones. After moving to Branson in 2009, Bob continued his dedication to the Lord by serving others, both at Hopedale Baptist Church and Jesus Was Homeless. Because of his compassion towards others, many people look to Bob as a father figure and true example of a Christ follower. With a heart for serving others, Bob was committed to lending a helping hand, an attentive ear or a shoulder to lean on. His giant smile and warm heart were felt by all. Regardless of who they were, or where they came from, he made everyone feel special and chose to love them unconditionally.
