Lawrence Gordon “Lorne” MacKinnon passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 28, 2024 at Andrews of Park West in Charlottetown, at the age of 70.

He is survived by his daughter, Lori MacKinnon (Tyler) and granddaughter Kaiya Tudor; his son, Christopher MacKinnon and grandson Aiden MacKinnon and granddaughter, MacKayla MacKinnon, all Ontario residents. Lorne is also survived by his sister, Kathleen Swan (William) of Orillia, Ontario; his brother, Roland MacKinnon of Barrie Ontario; his brother Kevin MacKinnon (Michael) of Sydney, Australia; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Everett St Clair MacKinnon and Freda Kathleen Hennessey and his sister, Karen O’Brien (Tom), of Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.

Lorne was born in Morell, PEI but we grew up ‘away’ when our father re-enlisted in the military after the War. Lorne returned to his beloved Island in the late 1980s. His most recent job before his illness was with Trius Tours, a job which not only fulfilled his love of maintaining stats and schedules, but also his interest in people.

Lorne faced his illness with dignity and bravery, despite the challenges of declining health during the pandemic. He somehow maintained his rather irascible sense of humour and his interest in those around him, especially his beloved Boston Bruins.

His family would like to thank the staff of Andrews of Park West for the exemplary care given during the past five years that allowed Lorne to exceed the time allotted to him. In many ways, you substituted for his family. We’d like to thank the caregivers who helped him maintain his little garden in the lobby. It meant so much to him. Many thanks for all the kindnesses shown and your patience with the inevitable challenges. Thank you Karen for your assistance this past week; to Donna, especially, for the comfort of being allowed to say goodbye; and to the doctor who eased his discomfort allowing Lorne to “go gentle into that good night.”

We would like to thank Sharon, Lorne’s former colleague at Trius Tours, who provided friendship and many errands over the years, and to Angela, who many times did the same.

Resting at MacLean Funeral Home Swan Chapel. At Lorne’s request there will be no service. He will be interred with our parents at Peoples Cemetery. Online condolences may be made at www.macleanfh.com
