Josh was a strong, caring and loving father, brother and uncle. Growing up Josh was a part of the Cabot High Wrestling Team. He was an avid wrestler who won many championships. Josh enjoyed halibut fishing with his father and two brothers. He also loved hunting deer and moose in the fall. His favorite hunting spot was at Jimmy the Backlands, a place where he spent many hours in his tree-stand. Josh was a forklift driver while employed at the Victoria Co-op Fisheries located in Bay St. Lawrence, a place where he became great friends with all his fellow coworkers. Josh was a light in all of our lives. He always had a smile on his face and would help anyone that he could.
Josh had one son Brody, who was his pride and joy. Everyone would call him a “Mini Josh”. Josh is survived by his loving parents, Sherman Mackinnon & Deanna Bonnar of

You’ll never be forgotten, that simply cannot be
As long as I am living, I’ll carry you with me
Safely tucked within my heart your light will always shine
A glowing ember never stilled throughout the end of time.
No matter what the future brings or what may lie ahead,
I know that you will walk with me along the path I tread.
So rest easy my Angel, be at peace
and let your soul fly free.
One day I’ll join you in glorious flight for all eternity.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Josh Mackinnon 2021..
