Dave MacKinnon

To all David's family and Maureen!
I just want to say my Mom taught the world of all you guys and frequently visited MacKinnon's point. Maureen thanks so much for being there for us when Mom (Mildred) passed away. At this time, I would like to extend my sympathy to you and all your beautiful family.
You have my sympathy,
Marleen

I have many fond memories of Dave from tumultuous times together in Cape Breton in 1980. He was a mountain amongst men - it was an honour and a pleasure to work with him. I was an apprentice to a Master. My sincere condolences to his loved ones.

Will their be a service in Vancouver

Sincere condolence to your family and close friends. From the short time I was privileged to know you, during Jenny Kwan's campaign, I can imagine how much they will miss you. Your never-ending stories & knowledge, sense of humour, and kindness to others will always stay with me. Thank you for all you gave.

Dave was truly a great guy with a lot of practical history behind him--especially in helping people and organizing for a freer more egalitarian and sustainable world. Really enjoyed working with him on NDP election campaigns. This is truly a saddening loss.

Thank you Dave for your dedication to the progressive movement. I am forever grateful to you for your incredible hard work, diligence and guidance during one of the longest federal election campaign in Canadian history. My deepest condolences to Susan and the family. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Dave MacKinnon was one of the most dedicated advocates for workers that I've ever met - and a former federal NDP president, an NDP candidate, a union activist and a wonderful person.

Dave was an enormous help to me when I was at the BC Federation of Labour and beyond because of his enormous knowledge of the Employment Standards Act - the rules that try to protect non-union workers in BC. Dave was an Industrial Relations Officer for many years in the Ministry of Labour and continued to be an advocate for workers afterwards.

I am in sad shock. Dave will be sorely missed by all his many friends across Canada - my deep condolences to his family.

Your love for life and work for a better society will be missed and remembered Dave.

Working with Dave in the NDP was very fun and gratifying.We have lost a great worker and friend.Condolences to Dave's wonderful family.

Dave's dedication and commitment to building stronger communities and a better country will continue to inspire many.

A passionate protector of vulnerable workers; a feisty and focused Industrial Relations Officer

A worker and worker's friend. I'll hoist a couple in your memory brother.

Very sorry to hear about Dave's passing. He was a very good man who cared deeply about others and was always there to fight the good fight. my deepest sympathies to the family.

A worker and worker's friend. I'll hoist a few in your memory brother.

My sincere condolences to Dave's family upon his passing. Dave was a great guy who fought all his life for working people. It was both a pleasure and a privelege to have worked with him at the BCGEU. He will be long remembered and I shall always treasure his feisty at times friendship. Rest in peace brother--you have paid your dues.

Thinking of you all. Gerard and Charlotte

Big Dave - you were larger than life itself! So sad to hear about your passing. Thinking of everyone and I'll be with you in my heart at Dave's Celebration of Life.
