Robert "Bob" McLean, IV.

Robert "Bob" Davidson McLean IV, 52, of Gautier, died suddenly at his home on Sunday, January 2, 2022.

Bob was born in Magee, MS, on August 2, 1969. He grew up in Vancleave, MS and was a part of the Vancleave High School graduating class of 1987. Following high school, Bob joined the US Army reserves. Upon completion of basic training, he attended the University of South Alabama and later transferred to the University of Southern Mississippi. Shortly after, Bob began his career at Coca-Cola in 1996 as a delivery driver. Over a span of 26 years, Bob whole-heartedly committed himself to his career which ultimately led him to serve as the Area Sales Manager of Coca-Cola United Bottling Company Ocean Springs.

If not at work, you were sure to find Bob surrounded by friends and family either enjoying his boat on the water, riding his golf cart around the neighborhood with Otis and sometimes Jennifer, playing golf with coworkers, or proudly cheering on the Alabama Crimson Tide Football team. However, if you asked Bob, his greatest joy in life wasn’t his career or hobbies. It was being a father to his son, Bailey Davidson McLean.

In 2016, Bob met and fell in love with the woman who would be become his wife, Jennifer Feazell McLean. The two married May 15, 2021 and enjoyed life to the fullest.

Bob is survived by his wife, Jennifer McLean; son, Bailey McLean; mother, Lynn McLean; his stepdaughters, Alexis Kelly (Tyler) and Lauren Shuster; step grandchild, Liam Kelly; his niece, Jordan Beeker; in-laws, Sylvia and Frank Feazell; brother-in-law, Mike Feazell; "sister", Annie Beeker; best friends, Dale Foster and Steve Henne; beloved dog, Otis; and many other dear family and friends.

Bob was preceded in death by his father, Robert Davidson McLean, III; paternal grandparents, Harlan and Catherine Swango; and maternal grandparents, Ottis and Clarence Austin.

Pallbearers will be Bailey McLean, Landon Franks, Dale Foster, Keith Watson, Steve Henne, Chris Scruggs, Tyler Kelly, and Mike Feazell.

Recognized as honorary pallbearers are all of Bob's current Coca-Cola team- Tracy Morgan, Anthony Baricev, Tony Myers, Phi Nguyen, Ricky Nguyen, Brian Davis, Mike Batia, Chivas Lowery, Caleb Gable, and Jason McGinnis.
