Wilson-Little Funeral Home
Robin Lane McGee, age 58 of Purcell, passed away Wednesday December 16, 2020.
Robin was born October 5, 1962 in Blue Island, IL, the baby of three sons born
to Earl Leslie McGee and Nancy Ann (Bentley) McGee. He was raised in Sauk
Village, and graduated from Bloom Trail High School, Chicago, IL in 1980. Robin
followed his brother Rick to Oklahoma, and attended Oklahoma Baptist University
for a time. He was a gifted performer, and showcased his talents, both acting
and writing, and on occasion, singing. He worked in commercials and local
plays, and his favorite were murder mysteries. Robin began acting as a freshman
in high school , and was particularly valuable because he could grow a full
beard as a 14-year-old! He had a long and storied career as a character actor
in movies, including the original ROBOCOP and the more recent LONE RANGER movie
with Johnny Depp. He also had a lead role in a Christian movie entitled NO
TURNING BACK. Robin was in hundreds of television commercials and industrials
films, including many for the Dallas Cowboys and even ESPN Sports. He was also
familiar with the stage, performing in musicals such as THE ROCKY HORROR
PICTURE SHOW, 1776, and THE SMOKY MOUNTIAN PASSION PLAY in Tennessee. But Robin
was mainly known for his prolific writing and acting skills in Murder
Mysteries. He was gifted in his comic performances and could carry a play all
by himself. Since moving to Oklahoma, Robin had become a favorite at First
Baptist Church in Wayne, where his brother Rick preaches. His murder mystery
dinner theaters raised thousands of dollars for young people and children to go
to summer camps. Robin brightened the Christmas season by performing in many
Christmas plays and musicals at the church. Robin loved life and lived each day
to the fullest. He was a wonderful son, brother, uncle and friend, who will be
dearly missed!
He was preceded in death by: His mother, Nancy McGee.
Robin is survived by: his father, Earl McGee of Purcell; brothers, Rick McGee
and wife Nancy of Wayne and Randy McGee and wife Pam of Springboro, OH; several
aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews and a host of other family and friends.
