Obituary of David Allan MacInnis
Surrounded by love and laughter, David Allan MacInnis died peacefully on May 12, 2024, after a brief and gruelling illness.
David was born in Antigonish, N.S., on October 26, 1955, the eldest son of Malcolm and Marie MacInnis.
A big brother to nine, he wore the mantle like a medal, a caped crusader swooping in to bail out this one or that one — always with love and never a hint of judgment. Though families rarely see eye to eye on everything, we all knew that David was the best of us.
Eager to make his mark, he headed west after high school to forge a lifelong career in the oil industry, a path that brought him and his family to many exotic outposts around the world. David rose through the ranks to become a respected leader who steered the company through turbulent times. Through it all, he made lasting friendships, connecting with people everywhere he went.
Some thought the fast-car-loving, party boy would never settle down, but fate knew he was just waiting for “the one.” In Mary, he found his North Star, a bubbly breath of fresh air from Ohio who captured his heart with her radiant smile, generous spirit and culinary magic, especially her signature Mary Queen cakes!
They travelled the world together, writing a story that would unfold over several decades and end back where it started. When faced with unchangeable winds, David and Mary gracefully adjusted their sails and charted the course.
Being a dad was the purest joy of David’s life; he beamed with pride sharing stories about Sophie’s athletic accolades and her nursing career and Rory’s adventures in the great outdoors as well as his success in his profession of power engineering. He took so much joy in seeing the incredible people they had grown into — kind, warm, funny and wise, the best of him.
Though David worked abroad all his life, he maintained unbreakable bonds with many friends from his high school days. Almost without fail, he was home every year for Highland Games’ Kilted to hit the links and hoist a pint with mates.
David was the friend everyone wanted in their corner; he had an uncanny way of making you feel like the only person on earth when you had his attention. His sense of humour intact to the end, David always appreciated a good joke, or even a bad joke. He loved to laugh.
This beautiful man was a blue
