Mackenzie Thomas PAWLUK

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Mackenzie. I think he was my first male friend in Sakaw school.
I remember bringing two forks to school so we could share pie during our lunch break. I never saw him after elementary but it didn't mean that the memories we had were lostm
Wishing you peace, Mackenzie.

Darren, I am so so sorry for your loss. You have my deepest sympathies.

All of our love and endless compassion and a heap of Cheetos. Laurel and Bruce

To the Pawluk and Smith families, relatives and friends -

Mack was like extended family to us, and was a dear friend to my sons, Josh and Michael. His presence and all of the gifts he shared with those around him will be honoured this day and remembered always.

Darren and Kathleen. We were so saddened to hear of the loss of Mackenzie. Even though it has been a while since we have seen each other, have thought of you often. Please know that we are sending loving thoughts and prayers to you and your family during this difficult time.

Katherine although Mac is gone just look up to see him among the stars. He will always be there to show the way.

My heart aches for you as it aches for my son who committed suicide December 24.

Can not imagine the pain you must all be in now. My deepest sympathies

I have fond memories of Mack at the lakehouse eating poutine for breakfast, of his 'hat' gifts to Sophie, and his close bond with his siblings. He left us far too soon. We love and miss him.

My heart goes out to you all, and please know I'm thinking of you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you right now.

I have such fond memories of Darren and his boys grocery shopping on Baseline. Darren - he always had such a mischievous, wonderful grin on his face when you were in with him.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child and my heart aches for you.

Clayton and I send our deepest condolences as you grieve.

I just read your post about Mackenzie on Facebook and was compelled to reach out to you. I am so sorry for your broken heart and I totally support your frustration with the healthcare system that has nothing but quick little band aid solutions for those battling within their own minds. I too lost my son, his name was Anthony, he decided to end his pain in the wee hours of the morning while those that loved him slept. The pain for those of us left behind is immense, though, those who choose to leave deal with their own immeasurable pain. I am sorry you and your family are experiencing this catastrophic nightmare....hopefully one day no other family will go through this awful tragedy.

I've just heard of Mackenzie's passing. Even though I didn't know him or his family I'm in tears that he's no longer here. May the Great Spirit guide you on your quest. All my relations.

With the deepest of love, our family sends prayers to you and your family.

It's been 17 months for us. We lost our son to addiction and a system that failed him. My heart breaks for Mackenzie's mom. I am sending prayers of comfort your way. My wish for you is that one day you will smile at the memory of your beautiful son and that the tears will become few. Love and blessing to you.

Mack was a light that shone bright through his smile and laughter. He was so compassionate & caring and will be missed deeply. Love and light to you xo

My most sincere condolences to Macks parents & extended families. This is an extremely tragic loss. My heart breaks for all of you. May you find comfort in each other & beautiful memories of such an amazing young man.

My deepest condolence on a precious life lost too soon. Mackenzie will live on in the many voices that will speak on his behalf. With love and grace for the journey, take all the time you need to grieve and to heal.

You are my precious baby boy, yesterday, today, tomorrow, forever.

Kathleen and all who knew Mackenzie, may you find joy and peace as you celebrate his life and reflect on wonderful memories together. My heart goes out to you all. May all you need be yours.

Kathleen, Richard and all of Mack's family. Our thoughts and hearts are with you at this time and we know that Mack will live on forever within your memories.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.

A beautiful boy, and then man. Sensitive, creative and loving. I will always remember when he walked into a room and Sophie would yell out his name and run into his arms! Big hugs to all of you. He will be missed but not forgotten in our hearts.

Darren, Angie and family, our hearts go out to you. Mack was a great kid who never had the chance to become the amazing man we knew he could be. May you find strength in family and friends to get through the days ahead. Our thoughts are with you.

I cannot imagine the pain you all must be in at this time. Just know we are all sending you our strength, love, & prayers!

There are no words to say,just tears & heartbreak for your family

I am sorry to hear of your loss. From a mom who has lost a son, know that time is on your side. Take what you need. Take care of each other.

Darren and Family, No words can express our sorrow for your loss. May your loving memories of Mackenzie bring you peace and comfort.
Though his life was not long, he touched many individuals who are better for having known him. He will be missed.
Ron and April Turnbull, Calgary

Wishing you peace and an abundance of love surrounding you.

I never had the pleasure of meeting you in person, MacKenzie, but I feel like I know the strong, genuine and compassionate man that you are so well through your mother. You are missed and loved by so many, and you've graced the lives of all of us by your presence, in person or otherwise. Rest in peace and God bless you, friend.

Such a sad time, my heart is breaking for you and your family. Sending hugs and prayers.
Heather Forsyth, Calgary

Darren and family....we are so very sorry to hear of this tragic loss. Know that each of you are in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time.
Sincerely,
Keith and Joanne Vinthers, Brandon, MB

I will always remember the way Mack's mischievous smile and sparkling eyes lit up a room. He was full of kindness, empathy and generosity. His wicked sense of humour was razor sharp and irreverent, just like his mother's. I will miss him terribly.

From my family to yours, wishing you peace and courage during this difficult time.

Wishing all of Mackenzies family, the strength to face the coming days, the warmth of memories of his life, and peace to help you all through this terrible tragedy. So terribly sorry for the loss of this beautiful young man.

This journey has ended another begins.

Wishing you peace drawn from the comfort of friends and family, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.

Kathleen, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this dark time. Sending nothing but love and hugs your way. Your strength is an inspiration to many.

Kathleen and family,
Thinking of you all today on Mack's birthday. What a beautiful tribute to him.
