TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF ALVIN A. MCABEE OF ROEBUCK AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Alvin A. McAbee of Roebuck on September 20, 2018, at the venerable age of eighty-seven; and
Whereas, born on May 10, 1931, to the late Wilford A. and Annie Faye Strange McAbee, Alvin honorably served his country in the U.S. Air Force. He was a graduate of Cecil's Business College and co-founder of Roebuck Greenhouses; and
Whereas, as a man of faith, Alvin served the Lord as a member of Bethlehem Baptist Church, where he was active in many areas of ministry. He was especially honored for his work with the church building and finance committees; and
Whereas, Alvin was also very active in the community, as well as in Spartanburg County at large, where he was so instrumental in helping others. Not one to seek recognition, he was known and loved by all for his unselfish spirit; and
Whereas, predeceased by his dear wife Paula Jean Miller McAbee, Alvin McAbee leaves to cherish his memory two daughters, Debbie McAbee Clark (Allen) of Spartanburg and Vicky McAbee Noe (Jerry) of Roebuck; a son, Ricky A. McAbee (Joy) of Roebuck; his sister, Ann McAbee Bible-Batson (Tom) of Greenville; six grandchildren, Allen O. Clark III (Jennifer), Molly Clark Conklin (Josh), Elizabeth McAbee, Emily McAbee Lucas (John), Erin McAbee, and Patrick McAbee Noe; seven great-grandchildren, Allie Varn, Mac Lucas, Hutch Lucas, Belle Lucas, Samuel Clark, Clark Conklin, and Millie Conklin; and a host of other family members and loving friends. He will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Alvin A. McAbee of Roebuck and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mr. Ricky A. McAbee for the family.
