John M. "Mike" McKee

John M. “Mike” McKee (81) of Wichita, Kansas died August 17, 2020. Mike was born and grew up in Kansas City, Missouri where he graduated from Southwest High School. He started college at the University of Missouri, where he joined the Alpha Tau Omega social fraternity. Mike transferred to, and graduated from, Parson College, Fairfield, Iowa. Mike was one of the early escorts for the BOTAR Ball in Kansas City. Mike started his career working for Associated Wholesale Grocers.

Mike later moved to Wichita, Kansas where he worked, until his retirement, at Boeing Aircraft. During retirement, he followed his passion of owning and refinishing Chevy Corvettes, during which he attended many classic car events where he won high recognition as well as multiple awards. He was often seen riding in his pride and joy, a red 1976 Corvette convertible. He was a loving, loyal, and trusting friend to everyone he met. He took great pride in being a member of the Air Capital Corvette Club and in his membership at Reflection Ridge Country Club.

He is preceded in death by his parents, John L. & Mildred McKee, and brother-in-law Byron Duncan. He is survived by his sister, Pat Duncan of Prairie Village, Kansas, as well as his niece Kim Duncan Hunter, and nephew, David Duncan.

In lieu of flowers, Mike would be honored if you could support either the kind people of Sandpiper Health Care, 5808 W. 8th St. North, Wichita, KS 67212, to help them to continue to go “over and above” in the care of their residents, or St Jude's Hospital.
