John “Maggie” McGee
(June 12, 1944 – June 4, 2017)

“Maggie was so much more than a popular Bowhunter Magazine columnist who entertained readers from 1978 until his retirement in 2011. He was a personal friend and fellow bowhunter who’d been blessed with the God-given ability to make the people around him smile, laugh, and feel better. His friendliness and self-deprecating humor were the trademark signature of his columns, hunting stories, books, and public appearances wherever bowhunters gathered. Most importantly, people related to him. I credit Maggie with helping make Bowhunter the most successful and popular archery publication in the history of our sport. In truth, Maggie’s presence and active involvement made a good magazine even better in much the same way he affected his loyal readers and fans by simply being himself — the real deal with a genuinely friendly smile and a mischievous twinkle in his eye.”

M.R. James, Bowhunter Founder/Editor Emeritus    

 

   

John “Maggie” McGee of Cold Spring, KY. Beloved husband of 33 years to Melaney McGee; loving father of Julie (Marvin) Beckham of Milford, OH, Sherry (Eric) Cook of Milford, OH and Jennifer (James) Groves of Loveland, OH; caring grandfather of Melissa (Jamie) Gilvin, John (Stephanie) Richardson, Matt (Meghin) Richardson, Erica (Trevor) Handermann, Jacob Cook, Thomas Groves and Ryan Groves; cherished great-grandfather of Jacey, Kyle, Kaiden, Kynlee, Eliott, Sophie, Piper, Paxton, Brynlee and Isaac; also survived by several nieces and nephews.
