William was born in Wakefield, Massachusetts on January 19, 1965, of the late Peter and Kathleen MacKinnon.
William attended Northeast Regional Vocational school, where he studied welding. He later worked as a welder for Local 7 Ironworkers Union for many years, and then became self-employed.
William enjoyed the outdoors, saltwater, fishing, scuba, diving, and horseback riding. He loved teaching his children to ice-skate, ski, and snowmobile and created lasting memories at Nordic Village. You could always find him in the garage tinkering with something.
William was pre-deceased by his brother Paul MacKinnon and survived by his children Joshua and Tonessa MacKinnon, Ex-wife Patti MacKinnon; Brothers Peter and Frederick MacKinnon; Sister
Sally Mc Elveen; and nieces and nephews.
A celebration of life will be held in the new year with a date to be announced.
