Harry McGee, 89, of Moss Bluff, passed away peacefully at a Lake Charles Care facility after an extended illness.
Harry was a native of Mamou and a longtime resident of the Moss Bluff Area. He honorably and faithfully served our nation in the United States Army. While in the military service, he served both stateside and in Germany. After his discharge from the service, Harry became a heavy equipment operator and worked for several area construction companies operating bulldozers, a skill he developed and was well known for. In his spare time, he enjoyed all the duck hunting and fishing (both salt and freshwater) fishing that southwest Louisiana is known to host. He also enjoyed cooking, spending time with his family, and working with his brother-in-law on drag cars and maintaining his Corvettes. Harry was of the Catholic Faith.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Oza and Leely Baraze McGee; brother Oza McGee, Jr. and sister Ila Ray McGee Kilchrist; and nephew, Thomas Jude Kilchrist. Those left to honor and cherish his memories are his son, Michael Shane McGee, Kirbyville, Texas; brother, Glenn McGee, Tennessee; brother-in-law, Jude Kilchrist, Moss Bluff; numerous nieces and nephews, including Daina Kilchrist and husband Charles Frank and Paula Gabhab and husband Robert.
