Jacksen "Jack" McKenzie
July 20, 2025
MCKENZIE, Jacksen Alexander “Jack” – Suddenly, due to a car accident on Sunday, July 20, 2025 at the age of 22 years. He will be forever missed by his parents, Sandy and Dayna McKenzie, and by his brothers Charlie, Hartley, and Hunter, his grandparents: Don & Anne McKenzie, Ross & Maxine Weber, and Valerie Mitchell & Kevin Tone, and by his extended family and many friends.
Jack was very active. Whether it was playing baseball, hockey, snowmobiling, golf or ATVing. He enjoyed anything with a throttle, if it went fast, he was in, sometimes leaving his mark on a few machines, and the occasional tree. But above all, he loved his family, and enjoyed spending time together. His life was cut way too short, but in that short time, he left lasting memories with all who had the privilege of calling him family or friends.
A Celebration of Jack’s life will be held at the family farm, 223838 Southgate Road 22, Holstein on Friday, August 1, 2025, from 2:00 – 5:00 p.m., with family sharing memories at 3:00 p.m. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Jack are asked to consider donating to their local sports club. Online condolences and donations available at www.englandfuneralhome.com
Condolences
To the McKenzie family
Words have not been invented to express how you must be feeling over the last couple of weeks, and we do express our deep condolences to all of you. We did not know Jack well - only saw him a few times at family functions. As great, great aunt and uncle, there are not that many opportunities to see that generation of family.
But we feel your loss and know you will miss him terribly.
Dayna, Sandie, Charlie, Hunter, Jackson , Val and family,
My heart goes out to all of you at this most difficult time. May the comfort of family and friends help comfort you.
