Scott Earl McKEE 

Scott Earl McKee (Buzz), who has died at age 58, was a 
great friend and family man. His family owned and ran the 
Madison Park Hardware for the past 54 years. He was well 
known by customers and close friends for his loyalty, 
integrity, wry sense of humor and quick wit. Scott was the 
only son of Earl and Lola McKee. He was the middle child, 
arriving in the McKee family on August 28th 1951, after his 
sister Jane and before his sister Jeri / "Cookie". He married 
his wife Kay in 2003 and Scott soon became an invaluable, 
respected and well loved resource for his three step sons 
and their "posse" by providing know how and materials for 
constructing and using water balloon launchers, potato 
guns, and rockets, as well as good advice on how not to 
get caught doing any of those things. Scott was known by 
his friends tobe first to point out their short-comings and 
first in line to help in times of need. He was a talented 
woodworker and craftsman, an avid fly fisherman, and a 
connoisseur of eclectic antiques. He could be easily 
recognized in a crowd in his stylish Levi jeans and Carhartt 
shirts with a ball cap for rainy days. Scott McKee died on 
December 27. He is sorely missed by his family, friends and 
BF2 clan. Scott is survived by wife Kay and stepsons Parker, 
Colin and Andrew, his mother Lola McKee, his sister Jeri, and 
her children Todd, Lisa and Bryan and his sister Jane and her 
children Darryl and Kelli, and his cousins Kirk, Betty, Sandra, 
Jack and Paul. Scott has requested that his ashes be 
packed in shotgun shells. His sense of humor lives on. A 
gathering for friends and family will be held to honor Scott 
at the family home on Saturday, January 2nd at 3:00 pm. 
Family suggests donations to the Leukemia and Lymphoma 
Society.
