Mac's love for his family was always present. Growing up, he was affectionately nicknamed "Fuzz." He spent most of his working life as an insurance sales manager, traveling throughout the state of Indiana. Mac had a deep passion for the outdoors and enjoyed hunting, fishing, and spending time outside. He was an avid golfer and continued to play until a shoulder injury prevented him from doing so. He loved sports, especially cheering for the Cincinnati Reds and the University of Kentucky.
He was preceded in death by his son, Bruce Kevin McDonald; his grandson, Justin McDonald; his parents, Clarence and Evelyn (Tucker) McDonald; his sisters, Charletta Sumner, and Patricia Satka; his brothers, Paul Gene McDonald, Donald Dean McDonald, and Terry Wayne McDonald.
