McCollough

Mr. Dennis Dale “Big Mac” McCollough, 67, of Kingsland passed away in the early morning hours of Wednesday, May 5, 2021. 

Mr. McCollough was born on March 17, 1954, in Folkston to the late Richard and Lucille McCollough. 

Big Mac was a lifelong resident of Camden County. As a graduate of Camden County High School, Class of 1972, Dennis was a proud CCHS Wildcat football player and avid fan. After high school, he owned a variety of small businesses with his father, including Midtown Motors in St. Marys. In 1989, Dennis went to work at Bennett Chevrolet and in 2019 retired as a certified used car manager. Big Mac enjoyed working for his many customers and developed lifelong relationships with many.

He was a member of Kingsland First Baptist Church and was an active member of his Sunday School class. Always the jokester, he liked to play pranks on his family, friends and colleagues. His many hobbies and interests included: tinkering with cars and motorcycles, collecting NASCAR models, flying model airplanes and drag racing (many of his friends will remember the bright yellow Heavy Hauler). 

During the 27 years of their marriage, Dennis and Kay enjoyed their fellowship with the Gold Wing Road Riders Association, serving in several leadership capacities and putting many miles on their motorcycle. Camping was another important part of his life enjoying spending time with family and friends. He will be remembered for his jovial, kind and generous nature.
