A friend and co-worker of Thomas "Tommy" McTee said he "didn't know anybody who didn't like him."
McTee, a longtime volunteer firefighter with the Whitfield County Fire Department and an employee of Freightliner of Chattanooga, apparently died of a heart attack early Thursday morning. He was 55.
"He was always good-natured and full of energy," said Freightliner employee Lindsey McBride from the Ringgold office. "That's why it floored us when we heard it (Thursday) morning."
McTee was called a "truly super person" by Fire Chief Carl Collins.
