Obituary
Please share a memory of Ian to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
With heavy hearts we would like to announce the passing of our dear father, husband and brother Ian Mackenzie, who passed away on Sunday, May 16th, 2021 at home in Port Hawkesbury with his family after an intense but brief battle with cancer. He was born January 25th, 1949 in Montreal, the youngest in his family of 3 siblings.
A graduate of Algonquin College, he spent time in the finance industry as well as professional and business development across the country. In 1985 he settled in Port Hawkesbury with his Wife and young children and was well known and loved everywhere that he went. He always had a smile and a handshake, as well as a sympathetic ear for anyone that needed, and made sure to instill his grace and respect in his children. He loved his family more than anything, and made sure everyone knew this.
Ian was pre-deceased by his mother, Elsie Cleland Davis; father, David Mackenzie and brother, David Alexander Mackenzie. He is survived by his sister, Nancy Mackenzie; wife, Anita Mackenzie; daughter, Leigh Mackenzie (Max Thompson); son, David Mackenzie (Leanne Mackenzie); as well as his four grandchildren, Kyle (David), Drew (Leigh), Halle (Leigh) and Walker (Leigh).
The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to the team at the Strait Richmond Palliative Care Society for their incredible care and devotion to their father, husband and brother during his fight. Your care made all the difference during his final weeks and days. Also, many thanks to their neighbors, friends and well wishers for their contributions during this difficult time.
Visitation will take place 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, July 29 in Dennis Haverstock Funeral Home, Port Hawkesbury. Burial at a later date. The family would like to direct any donations in Ian’s name to the Strait Richmond Palliative Care Society.
Funeral arrangements are under the care of Dennis Haverstock Funeral Home, Port Hawkesbury. Words of comfort may be forwarded to the family at: www.haverstocks.com
