Today we say goodbye to Harrison after a short but meaningful 6-week stay with us at Mackey Funeral Home. Following Linden’s passing, Harrison stepped in to support our team with front desk duties and day-to-day tasks, and we’re so grateful for the help he provided during this time.
Join us in thanking Harrison for all he’s done and in wishing him the very best as he heads off to medical school! 🩺
Born and raised in Lindsay, Harrison graduated from I.E. Weldon in 2020 and went on to complete a Bachelor of Commerce at McGill University in Montreal. Every summer, he returned home to teach swimming lessons and run his own business. He enjoys spending time outdoors, staying active, and being with friends and family. This fall, Harrison will begin his journey toward becoming a doctor, with hopes of one day returning to the Kawartha Lakes to serve the community as a physician.

Today, we mourn the loss of an extraordinary family man, dedicated businessman, and cherished member of our community. Linden was the heart and soul of our business, carrying forward the legacy of his father and grandfather with humility, grace, and pride. He never sought the spotlight—his kindness spoke for itself. Linden was generous to a fault, always putting others before himself.
As a community, we grieve the loss of a beloved friend, mentor, and leader. Linden’s absence will be deeply felt, but his impact will live on. Let us honour his memory by reflecting on all he has given to this community and the lives he touched along the way.
Life is sweet because of the friends we have made - Lindy Mackey
