Andy MACKIE Obituary

ANDY "Mac" MACKIE March 22, 1956 - February 13, 2022 A graduate of Queen's Engineering, and longtime fixture in Toronto's Eglington/Mt Pleasant area, Andy passed on completely unexpectedly this February. The middle of three brothers, he leaves a gap in so many ways. Often a quiet person, he was very kind and had the soul of an artist. He is deeply missed. A casual Memorial will be held Saturday, Aug 27, 2:00-4:30 p.m., on the patio of the Miller Tavern; 3885 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON. Text or call 403 923 1630 for further details.

progressed over the years and encouraged him to have
a solo exhibition of his works.He was an incredible person, loved music, he was wonderful and kind, great
sense of humour. We will never forget him.

I met Andrew and enjoyed working with him in the evening art studio at Northern Secondary. We all enjoyed seeing his Abstract Expressions weekly.
More visits to Andrew were made while taming his very full Leaside Garden. Condolences to Andrew's family and friends.

Andrew and I spent many lovely evenings together in art classes - colour theory and painting. He was a kind and gentle souI and the world will be lacking in colour and beauty with his passing.

Very sad to hear about Andy. We worked together at Ontario Hydro in the early 80's. Carpooling to Darlington daily was especially fun with Andy. In his tuxedo, he always attended the annual Gauci Snooker Tournament. He usually won. He would jokingly say "it was a sign of a misspent youth." Very cool guy. My condolences to his family and friends.

A gifted artist...I still have the beautiful walking stick he made...we shared a love of books and found humour in the most mundane things. We hadn´t talked in a while but I still considered him to be my buddy. I share in your sorrow and offer my condolences.

I knew Andy in high school and admired him for his individuality, obviously a quality he never lost. He was a great guy. My sincere condolences on the painful loss of your brother.

I knew Andy Mackie as a colleague in what was then Ontario Hydro. Andy was a very special person, very kind and friendly. He had the spirit and manners of an artist, and I believe he worked mostly in art work since he left engineering. He was a good person. May he rest in peace.
