Gerald Wayne Agee's Obituary
Gerald Wayne Agee, 83, of Locust, passed away peacefully on July 29, 2025, at Atrium Health Cabarrus. A service to celebrate his life will be held at a later date.
Born on June 7, 1942, in Madison County, Kentucky, Wayne was the son of the late Russell Agee and Suzie Goins Agee. He proudly served his country in the United States Navy and was a longtime member of The Rock Christian Church in Concord. Wayne retired from Penske Racing, where he found great joy working in the world of motorsports.
A man known for his vibrant personality, Wayne had an infectious sense of humor and loved to make others laugh. He was selfless, generous, and dependable — someone who never met a stranger and would help anyone in need. His zest for life was unmatched, and he truly lived every day to the fullest.
Wayne was a proud member of the American Legion and the USS Great Sitkin Association. He had a deep appreciation for military history and frequently participated in military displays. An avid NASCAR and dirt track racing fan, he also enjoyed running and biking. In his younger years, he even ran in the Boston Marathon — a testament to his adventurous spirit and determination.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Lucy Koester Agee; his children, Rusty Agee (Nancy) of Ormond Beach, FL, Denise Daniels (Darrell) of Stanfield, and Jeannie Beauchamp (Bruce) of Denver, NC; sisters, Hazel Blevins and Sharon Collins, both of Richmond, KY; and brother, Ray Agee of Zephyrhills, FL. He also leaves behind six cherished grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren who brought immense joy to his life.
Wayne will be remembered with love and admiration by all who knew him — a true character with a big heart and a passion for living.
