Michael MACKENZIE Obituary
January 8, 1947 Medicine Hat, Alberta
January 14, 2016 Calgary, Alberta
Michael Bruce MacKenzie passed away in the early hours of January 14, 2016 at the Foothills hospital, with family by his side. He will be dearly missed. Mike was born in Medicine Hat Alberta and lived in many parts of Canada before making Calgary his home. Most beloved by him were Comox B.C, where he enjoyed a few boyhood years and Halifax N.S., where his sons were born. Mike truly enjoyed his 26 year career with Air Canada where he made many lifelong friends and was able to travel extensively, his true passion. Upon retiring in 2005 he and wife Pat had many wonderful trips. He is predeceased by his father Bruce and sister Sheila. He leaves behind his heartbroken family, wife Patricia, mother Catherine, sister Sandra, sons Scott (Eric) and James (Rachel) and stepchildren Rachel and Benjamin. Also caring for him to the end; John and Anne Siegers, and nieces Megan, Lauren, Jane and Patricia as well as extended family. Special thanks to Units 44 and 36 of the Calgary Foothills Hospital. A celebration of Mike's life will be held in the early summer, his favourite time of year. Date will be advised. Rest in Peace, Darling. In my heart forever. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com. In living memory of Michael MacKenzie, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park.
