Kenneth L. “Ken” McKee, Jr.

Kenneth L. “Ken” McKee, Jr., 84, of Parker, a former church pastor and Parker businessman, went peacefully to be with the Lord in the company of his loving family Thursday evening, October 2, 2025, at Butler Memorial Hospital.  

Kenneth was born in Six Points, Allegheny Township, Butler County, on June 5, 1941.  He was the son of the late Kenneth L. Sr. and Hannah M. Sherwin McKee.

He was a 1959 graduate of the Allegheny Clarion Valley School District. He attended the Biblical Training Institute in Cleveland, TN, and was a devoted pastor for more than twenty years. Ken retired as an electrician following many years of service at Penreco in Karns City.  He was a well-known entrepreneur and businessman in Parker, owning and operating Quality Windows, Happy Trials Trikes and Bike Shop, and Ken’s Ice Cream in Six Points. He was a skilled wood craftsman and was well known for building and selling “the world’s most comfortable swing” picnic tables, and other wooden crafts. Ken enjoyed singing with the Allegheny Boys, camping and boating, and was affectionately “Pap Pap” to the grand-kids, who were the light of his life. The “kids” most especially looked forward to his tall tales of “Clyde the Skunk”.  

Ken is survived by his wife, June L. Sedwick McKee, whom he married at the Six Points Church of God of Prophecy on June 17, 1961. Three children survive, Lauri L. Miller and her husband, Dave of Cranberry Township, Kenneth J. “Junior” McKee and his wife, Kathy of Spotsylvania, Va.; and William T. “Bill” McKee and his wife, Anne of Six Points; four grandchildren: Tyler D. Miller, Tiffany D. Miller, Liam N. McKee and his wife Kaitlyn, and Aidan McKee; a great-granddaughter, Mirabelle G. McKee; a sister, Joyce Bowser, and her husband, Otis of Seneca; as well as several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two sisters: Althea and Ellen.

Friends will be received at the Hile Funeral Home Inc., 1204 Kerr Ave., Emlenton, from 1 - 3 pm and 6 - 8 pm on Monday, October 6, 2025, and at the Six Points Church of God of Prophecy, 126 McKee Rd. Parker, from 10 - 11 am on Tuesday, October 7, 2025.  A funeral service will follow from the Church at 11 am with Bishop Jay Croyle, a Church of God of Prophecy pastor, officiating. The interment will be in Scrubgrass Stone Church Cemetery.
