Theophilus E. McKinney III Obituary
We bid farewell to Theophilus E. McKinney III of San Francisco, California, whose journey of life gracefully concluded on June 11, 2025 at the age of 63. Theophilus touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
In the soft embrace of remembrance, we recall the profound impact Theophilus had on those he encountered along his journey. Though Theophilus may have slipped beyond the veil of mortality, his essence lingers like a faint fragrance in the air, a lingering reminder of the beauty and complexity of the human experience.
He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Theophilus McKinney Jr. and Sarah Evans McKinney; his brother-in-law Bob; his sisters, Marie, Margaret and Linda; and his aunt Eloise (Chocolate-Point Siamese Prahjahn).
Theo's contribution to the City's landscape actually goes back to the trendy 1980's when he designed evocative windows and interiors, including for Pride Celebrations, at the Casto District's iconic Avant-Garde clothing and gift store Headlines, and his amazing foamcore sculptures are still seen all over town and in private homes.
