In Loving Memory of Tom Mackey Born June 22nd, 1957. Rockford, Illinois. Passed onto God’s Care January 22nd, 2021 at age 63. Greeted in Passing Mother and Father, Jean and Robert Mackey. Brother, Robert Mackey. Niece, Caitie Lanigan. Lives Through Son, David Mackey. Grandson, Adrian Mackey. Sister, Ann Lanigan. Tom Mackey truly lived life to the fullest. His favorite activities were traveling, volunteering, and a good game of blackjack. He would smile as he recollected his many trips around the world, and all the amazing adventures throughout his life. He tackled every task with 100% and was a man with a plan…or two. Every birthday was an opportunity for surprise dinners, cake, and embarrassing photos. Every time someone did him a favor, he would get them a gift card in return. Every event called for a traditional card in the mail. What he truly cherished above all else was family and the simple things in life. His favorite things were going out to eat, a bowl of ice cream…or two, and spending time with friends and family. He will be greatly missed by many but never forgotten. Cherish each other and God Bless.
