<div itemprop="description">MacKean, Robert James <br /> <br />Born July 27, 1963, passed away June 30, 2014 following cardiac arrest. Beloved husband and best friend of Bernice Hennessy, cherished father and mentor of Aiden, Heather and Jenny. Deeply loved and will be missed by his siblings Glenda (Colin Carwardine), Debbie (Rob Scammell), Bruce (Egle) and Gordon (Laura). Predeceased by his parents Alice (1997) and Cliff (2009). Much loved son-in-law of Jim and Connie Hennessy and brother-in-law to the late Vince (Anne), Larry (Tracy), Bridget (Dave Milligan) and Chris (Sharrie). He is survived and will be missed by an uncle, many nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and colleagues at work, and will be fondly remembered by many players, parents and colleagues in the hockey, ringette and local commercial construction communities. <br /> <br />Visitation will take place Friday, July 4th beginning at 1 p.m. at Capital Funeral Home &amp; Cemetery, 3700 Prince of Wales Dr., Ottawa, to be followed by a memorial service and reception. Dress is casual. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation to thank and honour the excellent ICU team who cared for Robert during his stay. Cremation has taken place. <br /> <br />The family wishes to thank all of the first responders and paramedics, notably John Chatterton and Mark Smith, who were the first on the scene. Special thanks to the ICU Team doctors and nursing staff - far too many to name individually. They are an exceptional, professional, skilled and compassionate group of people. We also wish to thank the Trillium Gift of Life team for their guidance and support, ensuring respect and dignity were maintained. Last but not least, our thanks go out to our extended family, neighbours, friends and Robert&rsquo;s colleagues at work, for all of their prayers, love, compassion and support. <br /> <br />We take comfort in knowing that Robert&rsquo;s gift will improve the quality of life for others. <br /></div>
