Laramie, Wyoming – Michael Shawn McGee Senior, beloved son, husband, father, and grandfather, passed away on September 10, 2024, at the age of 69.
Mike was a devoted husband to Julie McGee and a proud father to two sons, Michael and Ross. He was an obnoxious and delightful grandfather to seven cherished grandchildren, who brought him immense joy and laughter. He is also survived by his mother, Mary Lou McGee.

His family and friends will remember him for his love, kindness, and the unlimited trove of witty banter he unleashed on all that he met. He will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
A celebration of Mike’s life will be held at 11 am on October 19th at First Christian Church in Laramie, Wyoming. Following the service, a reception with food, drinks, and a barrage of storytelling will take place next door at the VFW.

A good friend. Mike was always a blessing to us, as we always tried to be a blessing to him. Nonetheless, we surely received the better part of that deal. Mike would say "don't call me Shirley". Blessings to his kids, also good friends, and especially Julie - Gayle & Hephzibah
Si sorry to hear this sad news of Mike's passing... He and I went to Senior Prom and he looked so dashing in his 2 piece 1970's suit. Hard to believe that was 51 years ago. I'm so happy to know he had such a loving and large family with grandchildren who no doubt brought greatest Joy. My condolences to each one, and the many friends he made on Life's Journey... 💜💜🙏💜💜
Mike and I were close in the early 70’s. Got in a lot of trouble together. A free spirit I will always enjoy. Scott Cotton
