David was born in Sydney, the son of the late Bernard and Phyllis (White) MacKinnon.

(Linda), Donald, James, Patrick (Jen), David Jr. (Rachael); 11 grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and also by a very good friend of our dad, Thomas MacEachern.

In honouring David’s wishes, there will be no visitation.
