Paul Ray McNees, born May 24, 1934, passed into God’s arms November 30, 2024, at his home with his wife and stepdaughter by his side. Paul was the son of Frances Lake and John McNees of Harrison Co., Kentucky. He was preceded by his parents, a brother, John Keller McNees and his son, Steven Ray McNees, and stepson, Robert Warman. Paul graduated from Harrison County High School and went on to graduate from Eastern KY University in 1956. He entered the United States Army and spent almost two years in Korea. After the Army he returned home and began a 36-year career with the Kentucky Revenue Cabinet, retiring in 1994 as a supervisor. From his first marriage his son, Steven, was born in 1965. Steven was the apple of his eye and Paul was a very devoted father. In 1970 Paul married Elizabeth “Betty” Points Warman and gained three stepchildren who have loved him as a father. A good blended family. Paul and Betty made their home in Frankfort where Betty taught 5th grade at Bridgeport Elementary. They were active members of First United Methodist Church. Paul served as Treasurer for over 10 years and later kept attendance records for the church. Golf was Paul's most fun thing to do with a regular band of Cronies, Ray, Carp, Cash, Elwood, and Bob. Lots of good times. Paul is survived by his wife Elizabeth, stepchildren (whom he considered as his children) Lisa Ellen Friedly, and William Edmund Warman; 3 grandchildren, Elizabeth F. Ernst (Milton Baker), Alisa F. Reed (Regi), and Wm. Ray T. Warman; and three great grandchildren, Parker Ernst, Noah Reed, and Even Reed. A more honest, loving, compassionate, God loving man would be hard to find. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Pallbearers will be Mike Whitaker, Regi Reed, Ron Alvis, Richard Burris, Milton Baker, and Wm. “Bill” Warman. Honorary pallbearers will be Cleland White, and Elwood Harris. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the First United Methodist Church Music Fund or the First United Methodist Church GAP Fund, 211 Washington St, Frankfort, KY 40601.
