Anthony Eugene "Tony" McKee

Anthony Eugene McKee, 54, passed away on February 27, 2025, at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, after courageously battling a long illness. Born on January 18, 1971, Tony was known for his humility, kindness, and unwavering loyalty to those he loved. He found joy in gaming and was an avid movie buff, passions that brought him both entertainment and connection with others. 

Tony is survived by his mother, Susan Peters; his sister, Carmen McKee; his brother, Jeffrey Holland, and Jeffrey’s wife Kimberly; as well as his nephews Cliffard Kohl, Kristian Ziliox, and Anthony Justice.

He was preceded in death by his father, Richard McKee, and his grandmother, Ellen Presgraves. 

A private family gathering will be held at a later date at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Newark to celebrate Tony’s life. 

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.

Criss Wagner Hoskinson Funeral Home is honored to care for Tony and his family.
