Donald J. MacKenzie

It is with much heartfelt sadness that we learned about the death of Don- my brother in law! He had a genuine love of life and had a great heart and soul. He loved snow skiing and had great stories to tell of his time in California painting the rock and roll stars homes in Santa Barbara and the other areas. He really did live a full yet way to short life. I will miss him because he reminded me most of my husband Scott - in a lot of ways! He loved Patti very much and she, him as well. He was a great cook and I remember him talking about all of the different feasts he would prepare for Patti when she would be at school teaching. He loved animals and loved his parents, brothers and sisters. He was a great brother-in-law, great brother to his sisters and brothers and a great Uncle. He was kind and had a huge zest for life. He also had an infectious smile and beautiful blue eyes. We will all miss you very much. God bless and keep you Don! Love- Lisa (your sister in law)

Pat
It is with great sadness that I hear of Don's passing. You know how much I love you and my thoughts and prayers will be with you. Know that if there is anything I can ever do just give that call, nothing is ever too much.
With my love and friendship,
Rose

I will always remember Don at Lisa and Scott's wedding, picking up my daughter (who was 5 at the time and the flower girl) and dancing with her, giving her a huge grin. It was the nicest, most special thing to do for a little kid at a big people's party - and I'll always remember Don as he was that day, smiling and spinning around the dance floor.

Patty,
We are very sorry to hear of Don's passing. In recent years we've lost touch but we still will miss him . He was always there with a Smile, Helping hand , or just a word of encouragement. I look back fondly at the times we would have a couple of beers and just talk and maybe solve some of the worlds problems, Good times.
Pat, you and Dons family will be in our prayers, once again we are very sad at this loss.

To Don's family and Patty,
I just heard the sad news, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I am very sorry for your loss, he was a good man.

Hi Scott

I am very sorry to hear that you lost a brother. Just so YOU know,I have lost 2 of my brothers, and wanted to to offer, a place to lean on until this all makes sense. You ARE truely, a BROTHER IN CHRIST. I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, YOU KNOW THAT.

Dave

First to Patty: Don supported you continuously over the years just as you with him during his extended illness. Please remember those twinkly blue eyes,infectious smile and laugh. Also, Don's heart of gold.
Being Don's oldest sister my memories are more of his childhood years through age 14. Over the past week I have reflected daily on those precious memories of the Farm, Second Avenue, Sunrise Street and Downingtown. Tomorrow I'll share some of those special moments with everyone.

Don I know that you are now in a peaceful place without pain and suffering. I also know that you had guidance from other members of the family to assist in crossing over to your new spiritual existence. Dear Brother just remember all the conversations we had concerning our childhood memories during the past three months. And please thank our Maker that we had the opportunity to share these times. Some people are not afforded this opportunity. Don I know you will be there for me someday to transcend this existence. Until then you will be dearly missed.

We are so sorry we could not make the Memorial Service. You are all in our thoughts at this time of sorrow.

Love, Paula and Gralen
