Benjamin Mcvay

Sadly on December 5th, 2009 Benjamin "Mac" McVay left us all too darn soon. He was born November 14, 1951, was a loving husband, faithful friend, a crazy brother, a devoted son, a wild uncle, a good father, a really cool grandfather, a grass cutting fool and an ole school biker. He loved his wife, his momma, family, and children. He loved summertime, camping, his Panhead, swap meets, flashlights, frozen root beer, the garage gang, his dogs "Shy" and "Jr," and one of the cats. But most of all, he loved God. Mr. McVay is survived by his wife of 22 years, Maureen "Kevin" McVay; mother, Ruth Pencola McVay; three sons, Melvin Byrd and wife, Michelle, Joel McVay and wife, Oleather, Michael Chamberlain and wife, Lucy; a daughter, Crystal Shannon Bower; five grandchildren, Sabrina, Sarafina, and Malcolm Byrd, Makena and Ava Chamberlain; four nephews, Cory, D.J., & Tony McVay, and Ryan Moberley; a niece, Serena Moberley; a brother, Donald James McVay and wife, Debbie; and a sister, Marie McVay and her friend, Mark Greene. A memorial gathering will be held Saturday, December 12th at 1:00 p.m. at Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church, 9227 River Road, Matoaca, Virginia with the retired Reverend James Taylor officiating.
