Bruce Russell Mackie

Bruce Russell Mackie, 75, of Glen Saint Mary, Florida, passed away on April 8, 2025.

Born on January 29, 1950, in Providence, Rhode Island, Bruce was the son of the late Alice (Schultz) Mackie and Walter Mackie. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Dian Mackie, and his brothers Walter Mackie III, Paul Mackie, Arthur Mackie, Wayne Mackie, and his sister, Rita Engstrom. He is also survived by his loving sisters Ann Dietlin, Deborah DeAndrade, Cathy Mackie, and his life long best friend Albino Portella Jr.

Bruce was a caring father to Jamie Johnson (Dwayne), Jordan Mackie (Danielle), and Shaina Melville (Michael). He was a proud grandfather to Tyler, Katlynn, Dwayne Jr., Casey, Xavier, Jacob, Christian, and Jamar.

Professionally, Bruce worked at MtronPTI in Orlando for many years, where he was respected as both a salesperson and an expert in radio and GPS technology. He brought deep knowledge, strong relationships, and a sharp mind to every challenge he faced.

Bruce will be remembered most for his humor, warmth, and unwavering love for his family. Whether he was sharing a laugh over a home-cooked meal, cheering on the Red Sox or Patriots, playing golf with friends, or taking Monopoly way too seriously, Bruce made every moment count. He had a natural gift for making people smile, and his ability to bring joy and laughter to those around him was one of his greatest legacies.

A celebration of Bruce’s life will be held at a later date.
