Emmett Edward "Ed" McKee, 80, of Corpus Christi, Texas, passed away peacefully on March 14, 2025. Born on October 17, 1944, in Indianapolis, Indiana, Ed was a cherished son, a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud grandfather and great-grandfather.
On September 3, 2024, after many years of sharing a deep and unwavering love, Ed married the love of his life, Pamela. Their bond was one of true companionship and joy.
Ed dedicated much of his life to his work in the Ladies’ Shoe Department at the local Dillard’s, where he was known for his strong work ethic, warm personality, and unwavering commitment—working six days a week without ever taking a lunch break. Beyond his dedication to work, Ed had a passion for football, always cheering on his favorite teams. He was known for his quick wit and love of telling jokes, bringing laughter to those around him.
Among his greatest joys in life were his beloved pets and his deep appreciation for sports cars, his ultimate hobby and passion.
Ed is survived by his devoted wife, Pamela McKee; his beloved son, Ronald Lee McKee; his cherished grandson, Jacob McKee; and his dear granddaughter, Milan (Timmy) Stickel. He also leaves behind his adored great-grandchildren, Blakely and Trey Steckel, as well as his loving sisters, Linda McKee and Mary Lou McKee.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Mahmood and his team, Angel Bright Hospice, and The Cancercare Assistance Foundation for their compassionate care and support.
Ed’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
A visitation will be from 3pm to 9:00 pm on Tuesday, March 25, 2025 at Funeraria Del Angel 4901 Everhart Road, Corpus Christi, Texas.
