Michael "Shannon" Kee Obituary
Michael “Shannon” Kee, 48, of Waynesboro, passed away, Saturday, February 21, 2026, at his home. He was born April 1, 1977 in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
Shannon attended Harrisonburg High School and he was a devoted member of Community Restoration Church, Harrisonburg. He was employed in security with Bridge Ministries from January 2026 until his death. During his employment he didn’t consider it a “job”, but a “calling” on his life and it was a huge part of his ministry and spiritual journey. In his final months Mr. Washington and Mr. Stamper were great influences and supporters throughout the few short months he was employed.
Shannon and his wife started a ministry called The 3:16 Way, which is now a part of Community Restoration Church. It was inspired by his passion for Christ, and to spread love and the word of God to win as many souls as possible for Jesus. He was truly a Soldier of Christ.
He loved the beach, travelling, fishing, Kayaking, hiking and being in nature.
Shannon was preceded in death by his father, Nelson J. Charlton; his mother Brenda Hottinger Allman; his step-father, Junior Kee and his stepmother, Charlotte Kee.
Survivors include his wife, Joni See-Kee; his daughter, Bre’Anna Kee and his step-daughter, Baylee A. Fleet, step-son, Wes B. Fleet and step-daughter, Jacqueline (Jackie) Kirby; his grandson who is due March 20, 2026, Brennan Fleet Stringham; his sisters, Janice Riggleman, Jackie Holman and Nichole (Niki) Charlton; his mother–in-law and father-in-law, Emily Fitzgerald and Ernest Fitzgerald; his half-brother, Joey A. Charlton, half-sister Samantha L. Waggy and half-brother, Tony Nelson Charlton; his nieces, Christal Charlton, Desirae Gett, Tiffany Gett and Mikayla Riggleman and numerous great-nieces and great-nephews; Marcie Phares, who was more like a sister to him; Hunter Kaplinger and Shawn Minnick, who were like brothers to him. Also surviving are his Spiritual Mentors, Pastor David Tyree and Clint Webb, who were extended family to him.
