Michael Reginald Lewis McGee, 37, entered into eternal rest and was escorted by God’s angels to his Heavenly Home on Monday, January 29, 2024.  Michael was born on August 4,1986, in Greenville, South Carolina. He was the youngest child born to Raymond and Katie Lewis McGee in Mauldin, South Carolina.  

Michael graduated from Greenville Technical Charter High School in 2004.  An avid basketball player, he was the starting shooting guard on the varsity high school team at Greenville Tech Charter High School.  He was a Beautillion beau with Jack and Jill of America, Inc. He was also recognized in the Who's Who of American Colleges and Universities. Michael was selected for the Presidential Classroom in Washington, DC.  He was the Assist Sports II Basketball Camp NBA Foul Shot Champion during summer basketball training.  

    His love for basketball led him to play college basketball. Therefore, he played college basketball at Allen University before transferring and graduating from University of South Carolina Upstate in 2010.  He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sports Recreation.  His desire to be a positive role model in life led him to become

active in his community. While in college Michael served on the Campus Activity Board at USC Upstate.  He was active with the African American Association at USC Upstate and the South Carolina AHEC chapter.  

A well-known presence in the community, Michael was a mentor for the Chamber of Commerce Internship initiative.  He was a graduate of both the Greer and Spartanburg Citizens Police Academy.  He served as social media specialist for Rainbow PUSH in Greenville.  He was also active with the Urban League, Young Democrats, and a proud member of the 100 Black Men of Greenville.

 As a faithful member of John Wesley United Methodist Church in downtown Greenville, Michael was involved with the youth choir and United Methodist Youth Fellowship.  He also sang in the choir, served as acolyte, acted in plays, and played on the church basketball team.  After graduating high school, he continued to serve as a member of the Staff Parish

Relations Committee (SPRC), usher, and outreach volunteer.  

Michael worked in numerous positions, always in a place of helping people.  He served as an Upward Bound counselor and G.E.D. teacher.  He worked his way up in the automotive industry with BMW to team lead with Formula D, Trigo, and (most recently) MAU.  He was well-loved by many of his coworkers over the years. Michael was a warm and social person.  He had a great way of connecting with people and helping others whenever they were in need.  He loved being a part of the community,

networking, and attending charitable events all over the city.  He will always be remembered for his big smile and cheerful laugh.  He was a loving son, a loyal brother, and doting uncle.  Michael was the one to show up for every celebration and milestone for family and friends.  His faith was important to him, and it showed in his actions of love and service.  Words can’t

express how much we loved him; time cannot measure our short time with him.  Michael created a meaningful life, taking challenges with grace, and always rising above.  Our world was better for him.

Michael is survived by his parents, Raymond, Sr., and Katie McGee; siblings Raymond McGee, II and Adriane McGee Burgess (Craig); nephews Zach and Zander Burgess; and a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins.
