“on October 6 last week our former colleague K. Gunn McKay passed away due to complications of cancer. Gunn served in this House from 1971 to 1981 and was chairman of the Subcommittee on Military Construction of the Committee on Appropriations. Gunn's family comes from Huntsville, Utah, and as a relatively young man his father passed away. Gunn worked diligently to help his brothers and sisters to gain an education and took over many of the responsibilities of the family. As a public servant, Gunn admirably served the people of the First Congressional District of Utah, he served in the Utah legislature, and as chief of staff to former Governor Cal Rampton. He also was a very devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and served in many positions of leadership. Gunn and his wife Donna are the parents of 10 children, and he has a remarkably fine family composed of both his brothers and sisters as well as his own children. I am sure that many of my former colleagues and his former colleagues join with me in expressing condolences to the McKay family at the time of Gunn's passing.”
