To say Scott MacKay was well liked would be a disservice to everyone who knew him. Truly a man of the people, Scott dedicated his life to serving others as a DuPage County Sheriff, a sergeant and acting chief with the Carol Stream Police Department, a volunteer firefighter in St. Charles, and publisher of The Lombardian.
When he wasn’t serving his community, Scott was a relentless fisherman and avid Harley-Davidson rider who spent many summers in Sturgis, South Dakota. After more than 75 years of enduring Chicago winters, he eventually made his way to Florida, where he passed peacefully at the age of 83 in Punta Gorda, surrounded by his three children.
Scott was the beloved father of Jeff (Lisa), Melissa (Ian), and Robb (Jennifer); the doting grandfather of Harrison, Tristan, Logan, Autumn, and Oliver; the loving partner of Gina; an uncle to countless nieces and nephews; and, above all, a stranger to no one.
