Daniel E. Mackie CPA

Daniel Earl Mackie, 77, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, was suddenly called home to our Lord on June 20, 2014 in Albuquerque, NM. He was surrounded by his loving family as he embarked on his journey. Daniel is survived by his wife of 57 years, Eugenia Carol Mackie. He served honorably in the US Air Force where, at Cannon AFB in Clovis, NM he met Eugenia, his soul mate, and married May 27, 1957. They recently celebrated their 57th anniversary. He is also survived by his children Lisa Mackie (Maryland), Linda Mackie (Albuquerque) and Mark Mackie (Atlanta); his four loving grandchildren, Gavin Grant, Alexis Holwerda, Spencer Mackie, Griffin Mackie and his brother Dennis Mackie and wife Patricia of Nebraska. Daniel's parents Neva and Homer, his brother Bill, his sisters Peggy, Betty and Mildred plus his in-laws Grady and Ernestine Tucker were waiting for him in heaven. Daniel was the owner of Mackie & Company and co-owner of Mackie, Reid & Company, Certified Public Accountants for most of his adult life. In November 2013, Dad was honored with a "50 Years of Excellence" award from the NM Society of CPA's. Dan's heart and soul went into building the business to where it was when he recently semi-retired. Dan also leaves behind those friends, associates, and clients that meant so much to him. His love and devotion to his family is what will be most remembered. As Dan would say, my number is up ... I won't be far away, for life goes on. You've received my wisdom. I know you will carry on. A CELEBRATION OF DANIEL'S LIFE will be held at the FRENCH - Lomas on Sunday, June 29, 2014. A public viewing will be from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm, the Celebration from 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm and a reception with Dan's favorite cookout BBQ from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm.
