John Bradley Mackey Sr.

John Bradley Mackey Sr., age 75, of Conyers, was called home on the morning of September 24th, 2008. He was born in Santa Monica, CA, the son of the late Bradley J. and Della Mackey. A resident of Rockdale County, GA for 38 years, Mr. Mackey retired from Madison Ind. after 47 years and was a member of the American Motorcycle Association. He loved to work with his hands and soon became the neighborhood handyman. If you needed help, you could always count on John. He loved to ride his motorcycle on winding mountain roads. Whether with Lily, the guys or just solo, he loved to hit the road. In the last several years, he was able to ride a lot with his son Shane, making it much more enjoyable. He will be missed by his wife of 55 years Lily S. Mackey formerly of Ephrata, PA., two sons and a daughter; John B. Jr. husband of Patty J., Shane L. Mackey, Vienna Mackey, granddaughter; Erin C. wife of Michael Sisk, grandsons; John B. III husband of Sara M., Jason B. husband of Evie A., Colson L. Mackey, great-grandson; Ian Paul Mackey, great-granddaughter; Kaitlyn Nicole Mackey and brother; Wes L. husband of Peggy. He was preceded to his reward by grandson Cody Mackey.
