Obituary of MacKinnon, Douglas Alexander

The death occurred as a result of an accident at his mechanic shop at his late residence on Thursday, March 15, 2018 of Douglas Alexander "Doug" MacKinnon, of Borden-Carleton, age 62. Left to mourn are his mother Carmen MacKinnon of Charlottetown and formerly of Springhill PEI, and his siblings Carol MacKinnon (Sam Evans) of Charlottetown, Earlene McKinnon-Gray (Bob Gray) of Charlottetown, Donald MacKinnon (Noelle) of Indian Point NS, David MacKinnon (Wendy) of Medicine Hat AB, Gladys MacKinnon of Middleton NS, and Richard MacKinnon of Sammamish, WA USA. Doug was predeceased by his father Frank MacKinnon of Springhill. Doug was highly respected and loved by his family, his large circle of friends, his community, those who bought used cars from him, and all who knew him. He was a constant ‘tease,' and was therefore adored by his nieces and nephews who grew up around him. ‘Uncle Doug' was the one for whom everyone waited to arrive at family gatherings, and will be particularly missed by Alexa and Victoria Evans, Sarah MacKinnon and Emily Rideout, Matthew and Tristan McKinnon-Gray, Donald and Kate Price, and Eliana and Simone MacKinnon.
