On December 26, 2023, Evan passed away at Sturgeon Creek Retirement Residence.
Evan was predeceased by his parents Bill and Jean MacKenzie and his beloved wife, Irene. He is survived by his son John (Jill), grandsons Luke and Duncan, sister Mary (Bill) Matthews, niece Sandra, and nephews Brent and David as well as their families.
Evan graduated from the University of Manitoba in 1954 with a degree in electrical engineering. Upon graduation, he worked for the Manitoba Telephone System. Evan had an interesting and successful career at MTS, retiring in 1991 after 37 years of service.
He was a member of the Association of Professional Engineers of Manitoba for 44 years and service on the A.P.E.M. Council.
Evan was also a member of Pine Ridge Golf Course for over 50 years. He enjoyed the companionship of the other members. He loved playing golf at Pine Ridge but never figured out the greens. He was known to enjoy playing poker and bridge, doing the New York Times crosswords, and playing Scrabble against the computer.
Evan always put his family first and was a steadfast friend to many people.
In following with his wishes, cremation has taken place and a private service will be held at a later date.

It has been years since I have seen Evan, probably when my mother was still alive and at a family gathering, maybe even her 90th Birthday. I did hear from my brother Randy and Bev that Evan was in a retirement home in west Wpg. My youngest memories are of Evan owning a green Thunderbird, maybe 59 or 60, and seeing it at Lanark Ave, wow it was beautiful. I also remember him as being a very kind person, soft spoken and was always smiling. He certainly lived a long life and I hope he didn't suffer in his later years. He was a class act, much like his Father, Uncle Bill MacKenzie. Herb J. Tyler Ottawa, ON - Posted by: Herb J. Tyler ( Cousin ) on: Dec 31, 2023

Uncle Evan was a wonderful, kind man with a caring, generous, loyal heart. He didn't have a mean bone in his body or ever a negative thing to say. He was sharp as a tack and had quite a sense of humor. I owe my career at Bell MTS to him in part, and love that bond we shared. I cherished our bi-weekly visits, and weekly calls, and feel a void with his passing that won't be filled by anyone else. I'm grateful for his last Birthday and Christmas we shared together. He was with it right up to and including that very last Christmas evening where we shared Christmas cracker jokes, took selfies together at the table and enjoyed lots of delicious turkey, fixings and cheesecake (prepared with love from his sister whom he loved very much). Will miss Uncle Evan immensely, though I'm glad for him to be with his beloved wife Irene now. Until we meet again Uncle Evan. Love always, Sandra. - Posted by: Sandra (Niece) on: Dec 30, 2023
