Robert Patrick McCue, 60
Robert Patrick McCue of Lynn (formerly of Acton), known as Patrick to his many friends and co-workers, passed away at his home on August 10, 2025, at age 60. He was the husband of the late Donald Dean MacMelville, who died in 2024.
Born on June 11, 1965, he was the youngest of three children to Robert W. McCue and the late Anne E. (McLaughlin) McCue. He grew up in Acton, graduated from Acton-Carlisle High School, and attended Garber Travel School in Waltham.
Patrick pursued his dream of working in the travel industry, which led to a fulfilling 41-year career as a manager of corporate travel and a VIP travel consultant. He was employed by American Express Travel, the Oliver Wyman firm, and BCD Travel. He specialized in managing complex itineraries with a tireless work ethic and boundless enthusiasm. He truly loved his professional career and was highly admired by both his clients and co-workers.
His work made him a world traveler, and he vacationed around the globe with his partner, Donald.
Patrick was a lifelong aviation enthusiast and an ardent animal lover, especially of his two dogs, Rufus and Louis. His home in Lynn was in close proximity to the ocean, which he loved. Aside from travel, Patrick enjoyed socializing with family and friends. He was a great storyteller. A gracious host, his Christmas and Halloween parties were legendary, always having his home decorated to the nines. Patrick’s memory will be cherished, and he will be forever missed.
Patrick is survived by his father Robert W. McCue of Acton; and two sisters, Kathleen McCue of Waltham and Mary McCue of Acton, along with her partner Scott Ferguson of Maynard. Patrick also leaves behind a host of devoted friends and extended relatives.
