In memory of

Eric Mackell

1959 - 2025

It is with profound sadness that the family of Eric Mackell (Sr.) announce his passing on October 9, 2025 following a tragic ATV accident. He will be deeply missed by his beloved wife of 44 years (Diane Dumais Mackell), his one and only cherished daughter (Tina Mackell-Laplante), his partner in crime and son in-law (Eric Laplante), his precious grandson (Reeve Laplante) as well as his adored four legged companion (Mandy). He also leaves behind many relatives, friends and amazing working relationships. He is pre-deceased by his parents (Omer Mackell & Liliane Maheu), two of his siblings as well as his beloved four legged grand-pup (Gracy).

 

A caring husband, devoted father, loving papi & selfless father in-law, he leaves behind a legacy that will forever be in our hearts. A loving man full of life and personality, passionate about his little family, known as the comedian and jokester, an incredibly hard worker, and a strength within like no other are only a few of the things he would wish to be remembered by. Those who were fortunate enough to have crossed his path can appreciate what an incredible and resilient man he was.

 

"Please don’t cry for me because I am gone, cherish the memories we made and relish in the good’ole days. Although my time has come to leave this earth, trust that I will always be with you. Look for me in the clouds, in the starry nights and find me in nature where my heart belongs. Please don’t cry for me because I am gone, I am finally free from pain and suffering. When your time comes, I will be the one to open up the gates. Until then, keep me in your heart."

 

The family would like to extensively thank the Intensive Care Unit of the Civic Hospital for the incredible care Eric received while on his last journey home.

 

A celebration of life will be held on November 2, 2025 at the Nation Sports Complex (243 Limoges Road). The family will be receiving condolences as of 10 AM followed by a ceremony and lunch as of 11 AM.

 

In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation and/or Diabetes Foundation in Eric’s name.
