Duncan MacKenzie Obituary
It is with saddened hearts that we announce the passing of Duncan (Rae) on Wednesday, March 2, 2022 in his 91st year.
He was a licensed minister with the Pentecostal Ministry of Canada.
Also an employee of the Canadian National Railway for 28 1/2 years.
He moved to Hamilton (65+) years ago, but was proudly born and raised in Cape Breton Island. He always enjoyed his return visits every summer back to his Cape Breton family and friends.
He will be missed by his daughter Bonnie (Dennis), his grandchildren Christinna (Keyon), and Cameron (Kelly) and his great granddaughters MacKenzie, Taylor, and Jordyn.
Predeceased by his daughter Annie, his granddaughter Melissa LeBlanc, his 2 sisters Agnes MacKillop, and Mary MacAulay, and 7 brothers Hector, John, Murdock, Donald, Robert, Harold, and Ken.
Also predeceased by his nephew Bryan MacKenzie who he thought of as a son, and his very good friend of 30+ years Ron Drysdale.
Also predeceased by his mother Annie Mae and his father Daniel MacKenzie.
Duncan will be lovingly remembered by his dear friend Dorthy Turner, his many nieces and nephews and by his friends from Rosedale and Club 60 Seniors Bid Euchre Groups.
One of Duncan's favorite things was sitting around the dinner table sharing good food with family and friends, and of course a good game of cards afterwards.
So in Duncan's memory, donations to the food bank would be greatly
appreciated.
As per his wishes Cremation will take place at a later date as his body is being donated to the Education Program in Anatomy at McMaster University.
Celebration of Life to be held at a later date. There will be an announcement in the newspaper regarding date, place and time.
Family and friends will be warmly welcomed.
