Our much beloved Benjamin was welcomed into his heavenly home on Saturday, November 30, 2024. Ben was a happy, loving baby with a huge smile. He loved to cuddle and laugh. He enjoyed going on outings with his family to the zoo and botanical gardens. He loved being played with by his parents and brother, smiling in delight.

Benjamin Malcolm McBee was born August 14, 2024, in Wichita, Kansas to his parents, Patrick and Jessica McBee. He is also survived by his big brother, Connor; grandparents Harvey and Mary Krantz of Williamsburg, Michigan and John and Debbie McBee of Pendleton, Oregon; great grandmothers Carolyn McBee and Fay Cheetham; aunts and uncles, Brian and Yvette McBee, Kelli McBee, Kelly and Jordan Sylvain and Kevin and Stephanie Krantz; cousins Sydney and John McBee, Harvey Sylvain and Vivienne Krantz as well as many great aunts and uncles. Ben was greeted in heaven by his deceased great grandparents: John McBee, Russell Cheetham, Paul and Geraldine Budde, Alice Meddaugh and Dietrich Krantz. His life was a too brief gift to us, but he is loved deeply and his earthly presence will be missed by all of us.

A funeral mass will be held for Benjamin at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Traverse City, Michigan on Saturday, December 14, 2024 at 11:00 a.m., with reception thereafter and burial following at Oakwood Cemetery at 2:00 pm.

The journey is long and hard but you will not stay in the valley. You will find a way out. There will be light and there will be laughter and there will be love. "
