Obituary for Warren Elmer Mackie
With sadness we announce the passing of Warren Mackie, our loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend, on November 23, 2021.
Warren lived a life that was full of joy, happiness and laughter for 93 years.
Warren worked driving for 40 years for CBM and retired to his favorite place, by the lake, in Restoule, Ontario. There he enjoyed over 35 years of his retirement with his wife, Joan Mackie. Warren enjoyed camping, going to Florida and relaxing by the lake at their Restoule home.
Warren was known for his great sense of humor and the ability to make anyone and everyone laugh, no matter how serious the situation.
Warren would often tell stories of his childhood and raising four daughters alongside his wife of 65 years.
We always thought Warren had an extraordinary childhood and life. Looking back, now we realize that it was not the events in his life that were extraordinary, but the way he faced them.
Warren faced life with devotion to his family, courage and most importantly humor.
When talking to friends and family, the thing we heard most, more than anything else, was how much fun he was to be around. We all remember his famous chocolate pie with extra whip cream and how he would never miss a chance to surprise you with a surprise whip cream nose.
Warren, dad we will always love and miss you. We have so many wonderful memories of you. We will always think of you with a smile.
Warren passed peacefully with his wife and daughters at his side.
Thank you to the great care providers at Joseph Brant Hospital.
Warren is survived by his wife, daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
