Mr. McPhee was a staunch Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) supporter, dedicated political activist, committed community servant, and the revered patriarch of his family. Mr. McPhee’s passion for political engagement began early and remained unwavering throughout his life. In the 1970s, he proudly accompanied his cousin, the late Livingston B. Johnson, the first Ambassador for the Bahamas to Washington, serving as his aide and gaining invaluable exposure to national and international affairs. His commitment to the party never wavered—he remained well informed, deeply loyal, and actively engaged in its mission and progress. For his decades of steadfast political activism and commitment to the PLP party, he was conferred the exclusive honor of Stalwart Councilor, the Party’s highest distinction—an honor reserved only for the most dedicated and exemplary members. As the patriarch of his family, and spiritual guide to many, Mr. McPhee was a pillar of wisdom, unity, stability, strength and love. His children, extended family, and countless friends sought him out for counsel, guidance, encouragement and reassurance during life’s challenges. His words were steady, thoughtful, and rooted in profound love. He was cherished by his children, extended family, and all who knew him. Mr. Preston “Brother Mac” McPhee leaves behind a legacy of service, loyalty, and unwavering devotion—to his family, to his Country, his community, and to the causes he believed in deeply. His impact will continue to be felt by all who were blessed to know him.
