MACKENZIE, Daniel Burton – age 60 of Lower Argyle, Yarmouth Co., N.S. It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of the love of my life and soul mate who sailed off into our sunset on the evening of March 26, 2016 at home with his family and friends by his side. Born in Yarmouth N.S. he was a son of the late Claire and Evelyn (Morton) MacKenzie. Daniel was a loving partner, father, brother, and friend to all that knew him. Daniel's working career consisted of the Middleton Police Department, Department of Fisheries, Government Boat Insurance, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. He was known for his quick wit, love of music, and played in many bands some of which include: Sam, Reckless, Hour Glass, Windjammers, and Good Cheer. When he wasn’t playing music he could be found enjoying some of the other things he found joy in such as sailing, golfing, cycling, hockey and baseball, coaching, and the woods. He is survived by his loving partner Monica Brennan; son, Patrick MacKenzie; step son, Ryan Graves, brothers, Larry (Clara), Brian (Bev), Allan (Ginger); mother-in-law, Jeanne Brennan; brothers-in-law, Bernie (Jenn) Brennan, Rob (Clyde), Rick (Maureen), Rev. Bill Brennan, Brian (Rosemary), Leigh (Cathy), Andy (Jana); sisters-in-law, Sheila (Ken) Murray, Elaine Harvey, Marie (Bruce) Brine, Angie (Danny) McCarthy, Karen (Bob) Carmichael; many special cousins who were like brothers and sisters to him; many special nieces and nephews; and hundreds of friends, co-workers, and musicians. Besides his parents he was predeceased by brother, Leigh (Lorna) MacKenzie; father-in-law, Bill Brennan; and brother-in-law, Allison Brennan. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Sweenys Funeral Home and Crematorium, Yarmouth.
