Hollywood hit the Upstate, as celebrities joined sponsors and special guests at a private reception at the Huguenot Loft at the Peace Center. The next night, guests enjoyed a private concert organized by Mark Bryan and Dean Felber of Hootie & the Blowfish, which featured Joe Don Rooney and Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts, Steve Azar, and Josh Kelly. Actor Rob Morrow and comedian Gary Valentine surprised everyone with a set of songs.
David McGee
Funeral Director
David McGee knew, at a very young age, what career path to follow – indeed, he was only six years old when he discovered his heart’s calling. A death in the family exposed him to grief but also to the soothing comfort of sincere compassion. Thus he determined to one day help others, too.

As a child, David served as unofficial caretaker to the local historical cemetery, tending flowers, tidying gravestones, learning the tales of his hometown’s forefathers. He often re-imagined his Matchbox cars as hearses in peaceful funeral processions. “I felt drawn to tradition,” David recalls. “I had a respect for reverence.” The Tennessee native graduated from David Lipscomb University in Nashville before heading to Atlanta’s Gupton-Jones College of Funeral Service, where he was a member of Pi Sigma Eta.

David has dedicated the past 30 years to re-gifting the compassion he received as a child. He is committed to helping families celebrate and remember the ones they love most. “No detail is too small,” says David, a member of St. Paul UMC. “I am so grateful to have this as my life’s work.”
