ROBERT MACKENZIE
1966 - 2021
It is with great sadness that the family of the late Robert (Rob) MacKenzie announce his passing
at the Central Newfoundland Hospital in Grand Falls-Windsor on August 12, 2021. At the age of 55,
Rob was a member of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment B-Company for 22 years, retiring as a
Sergeant in 2005. Rob retired from Nortrac as a John Deere certified heavy duty mechanic after three
decades of service. Most recently, he worked with Crane-Tec Services Inc. Despite his long work
history, Rob remained, above all, a loving husband, father, and friend.
Predeceased by his father, Vince Mackenzie senior, and father-in-law, Edmund Duder. Leaving
to mourn with fond and loving memories are his wife of 31 years, Melanie (nee Duder), and his
children, Bradley (partner Brittany) of St. John's, NL; Katie (partner Duncan) of Cole Harbour, NS; and
Robert Jr. of Grand Falls-Windsor, NL. Also leaving to mourn his mother, Myrtle Mackenzie, his
brother, Vince (partner Kim Waite), his niece, Chelsea (partner Lays Bagagi) grandson, Duncan Jr., and
a large circle of friends, many of whom held him as dear as family.
Reverend Kim Waite will conduct the funeral service at the Memorial United Church on August
17th at 2:00pm. Interment will be conducted privately by his family at his favourite place in the world.
The urnbearer is his youngest son, Robert. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Mike Goodyear of
