Obituary
David Jeremiah McGee, the youngest of six children was born on August 8, 1961 to the late Robert and Ann McGee. He attended the worldwide Church of God with his family and accepted Christ at the age of 16.
David grew in Edwards, Mississippi on old Vicksburg Road surrounded by neighbors and friends who had his best interest at heart. Like all kids, he got the usual bumps and bruises, but he grew up to be a conscientious man. David was united in holy matrimony to Evelyn James and in this union was born two children, Little David and Little Evelyn. He was a good and protective father to his children while the family was together, often carrying his son on his shoulders when the walk to his elementary school was too long for his son's legs.
His education began at Edwards Attendance Center and he graduated from Edwards Jr. High. David west on to Hinds Agricultural High School, but received his GED in Kansas. He also attended Donnely Junior College in Kansas City, and Topeka Business School in Topeka, Kansas. David worked at Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Norfolk, Virginia as well as Le Tourneau in Vicksburg, Mississippi. This is when his friends fondly called him Yak.
David is preceded in death by Ms Eunice T. Smith (grandmother), Mr. Robert McGee (father) and Mrs. Ann McGee (mother). He leaves to cherish his memory a son David, a daughter Evelyn and a step daughter, Stephanie. He leaves a brother, Robert McGee of Edwards, MS, and four sisters Carolyn (Chester) Glin, Marilyn (Robert) Bryant of Edwards, MS, Yvette (Michael) Edwards of Molino, Florida and Janice (James) Swinton of Jackson, MS.
