It is with broken hearts that we share the devastating news of the tragic loss of Chapin Michael McRee, a beloved father, partner, son, and friend. Michael was taken from us far too soon at 28, leaving behind two precious young children, Christopher and Charlie Lynn, his devoted fiancée Kaycie Stewart, and his mother, Courtney O’Rear, who cherished him deeply. Michael’s smile was contagious, and his heart was endlessly generous. He never hesitated to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it—whether it was a friend, a neighbor, or a stranger. He approached life with joy and positivity that inspired everyone around him. Most of all, he was a dedicated and loving father. His children were his whole world, and he cherished every moment with them. They meant everything to him. Now, those two little ones face a future without their dad. Kaycie is left to carry an unimaginable weight—raising their children while navigating unbearable grief.

Every dollar donated will go directly toward supporting the children—helping to cover day-to-day living expenses, childcare, education, and ensuring they have the stability and security their father would have wanted for them.

If you are able to give, no amount is too small. If you cannot give financially, please consider sharing this page so it can reach as many caring hearts as possible. Michael gave so much to others throughout his life. Now is our chance to give something back to the two little people he loved most in this world. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
