Darrell MacDougall Obituary
In keeping with the wishes of the family, there will be no calling hours or service at this time.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be given to American Heart Association, P.O. Box 417005, Boston, MA, 02241-7005.
Mac was born April 2, 1953 in Potsdam, N.Y., the son of Violet MacDougall. Mac was a US Navy veteran having served in Vietnam. He also attended SUNY Oswego as an English Major, and later completed an apprenticeship to become a Draftsman and Tool and Die Maker. This encouraged his lifelong curiosity of all things mechanical while allowing him to express complex thoughts in an imaginative but understandable method through both word and art. Mac was employed with Kodak in Rochester, N.Y. Leaving employment at Kodak he worked for the D.O.D. at NSWFC Indian Head in Md. Following employment with the government he worked as a Construction and Site Manager for New Construction projects throughout Va. During his retirement Mac worked part-time at the Rochester – Syracuse Auto Auction, in-between traveling and spending time with his friend and wife, Shirley.
He is survived by his wife, Shirley MacDougall; son, Kyle MacDougall; daughter, Alissa Thorpe; granddaughter, Nicole Thorpe; sister, Donna (Larry) Arno; brother, John (Kathy) MacDougall; many nieces and nephews; and many hearts of those he had the honor to know and love throughout his adventurous life.
To those Mac loved and cherished, he will not be forgotten. As he rests, he will be sure to help God bless and protect each and every one of us.

Well Mac, you have been gone just shy of 2 years now. Mom just passed into the waiting arms of our Lord just 2 days ago.
I hope you find each other and enjoy the laughter that was so prevalent in your lives together, before your ailments encompassed your lives.
I am comforted knowing that neither of you feels near constant pain or discomfort.
On the lighter side, I hope they have better fishing boats in heaven than you had here! Since you´ll both be out there, I want you safe! Take care buddy..
