MACKINNON, Perley Hugh - Age 44 of Port Hastings. It is with profound soundness that we announce the death of Perley Hugh MacKinnon at home, on Friday, June 22, 2018. Perley was born in Antigonish on May 19, 1974 and was a lifelong resident of Port Hastings.
Perley is survived by his parents Perley and Marie (MacRae) MacKinnon, Port Hastings; his brothers, Bobby (Michelle Higgins), Halifax and Walter (Teri) MacKinnon, Moncton; sisters, Wilena (Brian Wood), Aulds Cove, and Traci (Dan MacIsaac), Port Hawkesbury. He will be dearly missed by nieces and nephews, Carter and Avery MacKinnon; Robert, Nicole, Chelsea and TJ Tobin and Kaitlyn MacKinnon; Jonathan (Brianne) Bonaparte, Colton (Jade Webb) and Cody (Teanna Bouchie) Wood; and Clint, Blake and Reice Snook. He will also be missed by his many uncles, aunts and cousins in the MacKinnon, MacRae and King families.
He was predeceased by grandparents Allan Charlie and Christie MacKinnon, Sadie and Bobby King, all of Port Hastings.
Perley had a heart of gold. He was well loved, and family and friends cherished their time with him. He was "Uncle Perley" to many. Despite having a lengthy illness, he was widely known to be selfless, always in good cheer and willing to help people (always a "Ya Sure" anything his siblings needed)
Perley studied electrical construction at the NSCC and was a graduate of SAERC, both in Port Hawkesbury.
