Christopher Allan
MacKinnon – passed away at home on Tuesday, October 3, 2023
at the age of 49, after his long battle with Glioblastoma brain
cancer. Chris was born in Cape Breton and raised in
Truro.
Chris is survived by
his loving wife, Juanita (Walker) MacKinnon; children, Ewan, Ella and
Cara; parents, Gordon and Mary Denise (Dickson) MacKinnon; sister,
Laura MacKinnon; niece, Madison; brother, Rod MacKinnon (Kerry
Chisholm); grandmother, Gloria Audrey MacKinnon; along with many
uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews and cousins.
He was predeceased by
grandfathers, Malcolm MacKinnon and Ernest Dickson; grandmother, Mary
Dickson.
Chris worked at
MacKenzie’s Towing and Service Centre from the age of 16. It
was more like a family to him than a place of work. When Chris was not
at work, you could find him at the rink, playing or coaching hockey,
the game he loved to his Ewan, Cara and many others. When not at the
rink, he could be found at Hart Lake drinking a beer by a fire and
telling a story that will live on through his children.
Chris loved being
outside, whether it was playing baseball in his younger years,
four-wheeling, snowmobiling, fishing and hunting, just going for a
hike, snowshoeing and swimming with his family at our little
piece of heaven, Hart Lake. Chris’ knowledge and passion for
hunting and fishing was taught to him by his father, Gordon which he
happily passed on to his son, Ewan. He loved cheering on Ella at her
many horse shows. Chris’ biggest joys in life were
teaching his kids to love life and enjoy life as much as he
did.
Family was everything
to Chris; he loved his kids and wife with his whole heart and
supported them in every decision and sport they chose and took his
time to teach them important life skills. He always said «How
will they learn if you don’t teach
them?»
Chris’ smile
and joy for life and family was infectious. He was determined to enjoy
every day with a positive attitude.
The family would like
to extend special thanks to Truro Area Minor Hockey,
MacKenzie’s Towing and Service Centre, Scotia Pool and to
all the individuals that supported our family over the past four
years.
A Celebration of
Chris’ Life will be held from 4-8 pm on Saturday, October
14, 2023 at Bible Hill Village Hall. If so desired, donations in
Chris’ memory to Fundy Trail Snowmobile Club or Palliative
Care are welcomed.
