Clinton "Vent" Magee

March 26, 1966 - October 17, 2024

Clinton “Vent” Magee was born March 26, 1966, to his father, the late Elbert Magee, Sr., and his mother, the late Mandy Wilson Magee. 

He attended school in Franklinton, Louisiana where he met his high school “sweetheart,” and future, Mrs. Keitha Taylor Magee. Together they created a home in Ocean Springs, Mississippi with their two beautiful children, daughter, Ashuntia Taylor and son, Alfonzo Taylor Magee. Vent adored his children and was blessed with four grandchildren: Kaleah Lowery, Zavion Brown, Treyvon Taylor, Jordan Taylor. He was an awesome grandpa and doted and bragged incessantly on his grandchildren.

Vent worked at Merit Health for fifteen years and was at Ocean Springs Health and Rehabilitation Center for two Years.

Vent had a quiet strength, infectious laugh, and love of life that was contagious. He was a remarkable individual, full of kindness and generosity. He touched the lives of everyone he met with his compassionate nature and his eagerness to help others. His legacy is not just the memories we cherish but also in the lives he touched. His wisdom and support have left such a wonderful legacy.

Vent enjoyed socializing and loved to dance and party. His favorite hangout was “The Tree” and he spent countless days sharing jokes, adventures and dreams with friends and family. Vent was blessed to spend his final moments on this earth in his home amongst his loved ones as he said his last goodbye. 

He leaves behind to mourn Brothers: James Magee of New Orleans, LA; Ernest Magee, Ocean Springs, MS; Elbert (Torra) Magee, Jr. of Franklinton, LA; Gilbert (Robin) Magee of Atlanta, GA; sisters: Hildred (Loyd) Watson, Tuscaloosa, AL; Doris Jefferson, Ocean Springs, MS; Allie Jackson, Biloxi, MS; Joyce Magee Bullock, Biloxi, MS; Melinda (Dalton) Laster, Morton, MS; Lisa Magee, Tuscaloosa, AL; father-in-law, Allen R. Taylor of Franklinton, LA; sisters-in-law, Lora Mae Magee and Deidrea Taylor; brothers-in-law, Allen (Tiger) Taylor, Kendrick Taylor and a host of nieces and nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.

Vent was preceded in death by his parents, Elbert and Mandy Magee; mother-in-law, Mrs. Emma Taylor; brother, Bruce Magee; sister-in-law, Kassandra Magee and brothers-in-law, Rudolph Jefferson, and Michael Bullock.

Today, as we say our final goodbyes we take comfort in knowing that his strength lives on in each of us. He may have left this world in 2024, but his spirit continues to guide us. We will remember him as a devoted husband and father to his wife and kids, a loving brother and a true friend. Let’s honor his memory by living life to the fullest, just as he did.
