Patrick McKenzie Obituary
Pat McKenzie, 72, of Indianapolis, IN passed away at his residence on December 22, 2025. He was born on October 23, 1953 in Columbus, OH, son of the late Robert and Edith “Jackie” McKenzie. Pat was married to Daniese O'Neal McKenzie who survives him. Pat and Daniese were looking forward to celebrating 45 Years of loving marriage on December 27, 2025.
Pat graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology from Ohio State University in 1977 and went on to obtain a Master of Divinity from Asbury Theological Seminary in 1980. He joined the Evangelical Orthodox Church and was a faithful servant to that ministry until his death, serving as deacon, priest, parish council member, and Sunday School teacher at Holy Trinity and St. Paul the Apostle Evangelical Orthodox Church in Indianapolis. The following year, in 1981, he began his lifelong career in the commercial parts sales industry, working for Gary Allen at Commercial Parts & Services and continued working in that space for 40 years, ending his career as it started, working for the Allen family at Vanco Commercial until his retirement in 2021. In his spare time, Pat enjoyed gardening, hiking the Hocking Hills, learning about history, and chewing the collar of his t-shirts off during OSU games.
Pat is survived by three sons, Stephen McKenzie (Monica Taboada), John McKenzie, and Nathanael McKenzie (Elizabeth Alar); one daughter Marianne McKenzie (Michael Timbs); one granddaughter Penny Zito-Taboada; one brother Steve McKenzie (Frank Patrick) of Chicago, Illinois; two sisters, Judy White (Ron) of Littleton, Colorado and Sharon McKenzie of Erlanger, Kentucky, and several nieces and nephews.
