After spending a relaxing and beautiful Christmas with his family, Scott Lyle McKee, 64, died peacefully at home in his sleep on Dec. 26 in North Carolina.

Scott was born in St. Louis, Missouri, to the late Ralph Stuart and MaryAnn Churbuck McKee. They, along with Scott’s brother, Rick precede him in death. He was raised in East Wareham, and moved to Greensboro, North Carolina, in the 1970s.

He married his best friend and soulmate, Judy Weddington in 1986 and together they raised two children. Scott was a “fixer” and a skillful maintenance supervisor with the US Postal Service from which he retired in 2001 with more than 20 years of service. He was also quite proficient in repairing electronic items.

Scott held a lifelong love and fascination with airplanes and was a long time member and past president of the Greensboro Radio Aero Modelers Club. His friends and family will smile when they recall his hilarious sense of humor, quick one-liners and sarcastic comebacks. He was blessed with a soothing and beautiful baritone voice.

With an unceasing inquisitiveness, Scott kept well-informed on topics that were of interest to him or of importance to someone else who asked Scott for his input. He would often watch webcams just for fun and liked to share his findings with others.

Heather and David will remember that Scott was a loving and supportive dad, and Judy will cherish their time together at NASCAR races or enjoying ice hockey games. His grandchildren were delightful to him and his constant caretaker, 6-year-old Walker, was his buddy.

He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Judy, as well as children and their spouses: Heather McKee and Kyle Cook and their son, Walker, of Gibsonville, North Carolina, and David and Celeste McKee and their children, Savannah, Gage, Madison, and Micah, of Conroe, Texas; brother, Ross McKee, of East Wareham; brother-in-law, John (Kristin) Weddington, of Greensboro, North Carolina; sisters-in-law, Margo Lanning, of Linwood, North Carolina, and Pam Johnson, of Greensboro, North Carolina; and two nieces and two nephews.

A service to celebrate and remember Scott will be at Hanes-Lineberry N. Elm chapel in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Dec. 31 at 2 p.m., with Pastor Joey Baynes officiating. His family will receive friends prior to the service, beginning at 12:30 p.m.
