Felix Alexander McLellan, Jr., husband of Dianne Harrington McLellan, passed away suddenly January 20th at his home in Dillon, S.C.

Mr. McLellan was born October 25, 1955, in Columbia, S.C., to the late Felix Alexander McLellan, Sr., and Kathryn Kuntzman McLellan. A graduate of the University of South Carolina, he was President of Dillon Insurance Agency, Inc., and an Accredited Advisor in Insurance.
Felix loved the small city of Dillon and was active in many aspects of its life: Dillon High School Wildcat Booster Club, McLeod-Dillon Hospital Advisory Board, Dillon YMCA (which later became the City of Dillon Wellness Center), Dillon Rotary Club (a Paul Harris fellow), Dillon County Chamber of Commerce, Dillon County United Way, Twin Lakes Country Club (with his golfing buddies), Dillon Chapter Ducks Unlimited, Dillon County Gamecock Club, Dillon German Society, the Cotillion Club of Dillon County, and the annual McLellan family reunions. He was a devoted member of the Saint Louis Catholic Church and a fourth-degree member of the Knights of Columbus.
Felix loved his church, his family and friends, golf, USC, Carolina beach music, and helping those in need. He was a registered organ donor. His love of Gamecock football was passed down to his daughter, Elizabeth, who was the gem of his eye, and they shared many adventures and memories following the team.
