Mark McKay

Mark Alexander McKay was welcomed into this world on February 19, 1957, in Vancouver, B.C., by Gordon and Janet McKay. He departed this life on October 23, 2026.

He is survived by his wife Kay Boatman McKay.

He was a devoted and engaged stepfather and grandfather to his stepson Kenneth Hannon of Manitou Springs, CO; stepdaughter Jamie Day and grandson Sage Day of Shreveport, La.; Brother, Donald McKay, his wife Dale and their children Paige and Gordon of Frisco, Tx.; Niece, Crystal Vickers and her son Henry McKibben of Dallas, Tx.; Nephew Christoper Baker, his wife Sarah and their children Reid Dean, Shepherd and Charlotte of Shreveport, La; Nephew, Michael Baker, his wife Regan, their children Mary Collins, Carvey and Frances of Baton Rouge, La.

Preceded in death by parents Gordon R. & Janet McKay, and sister Carolyn McKay Baker and brother Peter McKay.

Mark worked as a carpenter for 25 years. The same qualities he carried throughout his working life being dependable, hardworking, and caring were qualities that define him as a person.

While Mark found joy in the simple things in life (like golf, fishing, playing soccer, baseball, and cheering on LSU and the Saints). He loved spending time with family and friends, enjoying good food, sharing stories, music, dancing, and simply being together. We are blessed to have had the opportunity to spend precious time with Mark and to create meaningful memories together.

Known for his tender heart and warm smile, he was a simple, caring, and genuine man, always there with a listening ear and a helping hand. His love, kindness, and unwavering devotion to those around him will remain with us forever.

Let it be said by Mark McKay, “I believe in God and I am looking forward to the end of my pain. May God be with you as you go in peace through your journey of life.”

A private service will be held at Many Cemetery 575 Trace St. Many, Louisiana.
