Mac was born and raised in Nelson, B.C., and lived there until 1994 when he and Clare decided to move to Pincher Creek.

There they bought a small farm and Mac realized his dream of raising
horses and cattle. His horses were his pride and joy and our friends in Alberta are a lasting treasure. Retirement came in 2014 following a move to Comox to be closer to family.

Mac is survived by his wife, Clare; sons John (Marieke) in Comox and David (Keiko) in Japan; grandchildren Jessica, Kaitlin, Bella, Maddy, Christopher, Angela and Alicia, and great-grandson Jayden; as well as his sisters Muriel-Louise and Audrey-Mae and many nieces and nephews.

Mac was predeceased by his brother, Terry, in November 2020. We imagine they are together now and likely getting into mischief.
