Harold Mitchell "Mitch" McGee, 50, of Celina, passed away at 10:41 p.m., September 10, 2019, at Lima Memorial Hospital.
Mitch was born March 9, 1969, in Newberry, South Carolina, as the only child of Larry and the late Kathy (Black) McGee of Batesburg-Leesville, South Carolina. Mitch was a proud husband to Andrea (Green) McGee (who survives) of Celina. They, together, shared a love for the city of Las Vegas, and were married there at Valley of Fire.
Also surviving are his step-children: Emma (22) (Isaiah) Pointer of Edmonds, Washington, Ian (19) Hawkins and Aden (9) Wiessinger, both of Celina, and mother & father-in-law: Peggy and Andy Green of Celina.
Mitch had previously passionately worked in robotics at ABB in Auburn Hills, Michigan, and was actively employed as a robotic programmer at Honda of America in Anna. He attended Calvary Chapel Baptist Church in Minster.
Mitch enjoyed computers, cars, fishing, building models, eating boiled peanuts, and traveling. He had earned a Black Belt in Karate. There was a special place in Mitch's heart for his dogs, the late Kelsey and Oakley, both Shih Tzu's. He was interested in aviation, and had his pilot's license.
