Kenneth A. MacKay Jr., 72, of Natick
1954 - 2026

Ken was a devoted family man whose greatest joy came from spending time with those he loved. While he enjoyed many hobbies and interests throughout his life, nothing brought him more happiness than his grandchildren. He took immense pride in attending their sporting events, activities, and milestones, always cheering them on from the sidelines.

A passionate Boston sports fan, Ken especially loved following the New England Patriots. He also enjoyed spending time in Maine, fishing, and playing golf. Known for his kindness and compassion, he was a dedicated dog lover who opened his home to more than 100 foster dogs through his volunteer work with Save A Dog.

In addition to his wife Beverly, Ken is survived by his children, Michael MacKay and his wife Dominique of Templeton, and Cheryl Mansfield and her husband Jefferson of Natick. He also leaves behind his siblings, Mark MacKay and his wife Ann, and Judith Khercha and her husband Firdos; his cherished grandchildren, Mya, Olivia, JJ, and Ellie; as well as many nieces, nephews, grand-dogs, and his beloved dogs, Izzie, Riley, and Sophie.

Ken will be remembered for his love of family, his generosity, his devotion to helping animals, and the countless lives he touched through his kindness and support.
