The West Linn community mourns the passing of Peter Lynn MacMahon, who left us on December 23rd at the age of 64, after a brave battle with brain cancer. Peter, fondly known as Pete, leaves behind a legacy of love, service, and joy.
Pete is survived by his devoted wife of 43 years, Karen MacMahon, their three daughters and their families - Jessica (and Sean Whitney) of West Linn, Chelsea (and Bryan Washington) of Wilsonville, and Angela (and Tim Red) also of Wilsonville. His four grandchildren, Aubrey, Connor, Emma, and Nora; his mother, Juanita MacMahon, and sister Kristen Barnett, both of Woodland, WA. His families love and memories of Pete will forever be cherished.
A proud veteran, Pete served our country in the United States Marine Corps. He later became a respected plumber in the Greater Portland area, generously sharing his expertise as a part-time instructor in the Plumbing Apprenticeship Program at Clackamas Community College. His dedication to his trade and community was unwavering.
Pete's zest for life was infectious. His joyous spirit, radiant smile, and knack for bringing laughter to any situation will be profoundly missed by the West Linn community and beyond.
