Eugene J. Mackey III

I had the great pleasure of serving with Gene on the Dean's Advisory Board for the College of Architecture and Design at Kansas State University. He was an inspiration to me and to my colleagues and he was always a thoughtful and gracious voice for quality in design. He will be greatly missed.

Gene's greatest legacy is the wide circle of professionals, at all career stages, who he mentored. I never worked for Gene, but I worked with him as an AIA boardmember and as a client - experiences that positively impacted my career and which I will always cherish. Thinking of you in this time of loss.

Dear Mackey Family,

I had the distinct pleasure of knowing and working with Gene on a number of boards and projects in St. Louis during my business career there.

He was always direct, knowledgeable, and forward thinking which I admired greatly.

Gene was a true "Son of St. Louis" and his many contributions to the betterment of our community will be felt in perpetuity.

Thank you, Gene!

Aloha,

I am deeply sorry for your family's loss. May your hearts find comfort in God's beautiful promises for the future. John 6:40

As an interior designer for Mackey & Associates in the 1980's, I was fortunate to have experienced Gene's talents, guidance, enthusiasm, and professionalism. He was a wonderful mentor and a creative soul.

So sorry for your loss; I pray that the great memories of your Dad help you through this difficult time.

I didn't know Gene personally, although I met him a few times. We purchased a row house that Gene had rehabbed in LaSalle Park, as part of Ralston's development there. We were so impressed with the great work he did. He will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Gene Mackey passing. He was one of the giants of architecture in the Midwest and indeed the USA. He will be missed by all of us.
