April 1, 1939 - February 5, 2024 (age 84 years)
We are saddened to share that DIF Mackay took his final flight from this mortal coil on Monday, February 5, 2024 at Sechelt Hospital on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast. His children and grandson were by his side.
Donald was predeceased by his father Donald Hugh James, mother Jessie Marguerite and his wife and the great love of his life, Marjorie Anne Mackay (nee MacIntyre) in 2013. He leaves behind and will be dearly missed by his son Andrew, daughter Karen (Adam French), and cherished grandchildren Sarah, Michael, and Daniel. He is also survived by his sister Patricia (Harry Corrigan), and nephew Niall Angus in Scotland; and his many brother and sister in-laws, nieces and nephews in Nova Scotia and Alberta.
A celebration of life will be held at Harmony Hall in Gibsons, BC on Monday, February 19th, 2024, at 10:30 am. A family tribute to Donald and guest book can be found at devlinfuneralhome.ca. Interment of his ashes next to his beloved Marjorie and a funeral service will be held at The National Military Cemetery at Beechwood in Ottawa, Ontario in the summer of 2024.
