MCKINNON: Shane Patrick of Zurich, formerly of Kitchener

March 7, 1952 – April 25, 2026

Passed peacefully on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at the Blue Water Rest Home, Zurich. Dear brother-in-law of Janet McKinnon and brother of Nancy-Rae and Bob Lovie, Kim and Judy McKinnon, Jeffrey and Sandy McKinnon, Wayne McKinnon, and Derek McKinnon. Step-brother to Doug Turkheim, Cheryl and Garry O’Brien, Dan and Julie Turkheim, Lori and Rick Dellow and Donna and Kevin Armstrong. Loving Uncle to his many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews.

Predeceased by his parents, Betty (1969) and Raymond (2010), his younger brother Randy (Rudy) McKinnon (2016), his older brother Kevin McKinnon (2023), his loving stepmother, Joan McKinnon (2023) and his long time special friend Betty Geddes (2023).

Shane will be remembered for his big smile, laughter and his sense of humour.

In 1969, his first job was running a bread route delivering baked goods for the Tasty Nu Bakery in Zurich. Then he decided to follow in his father’s footsteps and worked for the Bank of Montreal and his first training job was in Kingsville where he was a member of the Kinsmen Club.

He will also be remembered for his love of family get togethers, Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Blue Jays and partying with all of his old buddies at the Annual Zurich Bean Festival.

Special thanks to the entire Nursing staff and Admin staff at the Blue Water Rest Home in Zurich.  Everyone there is so patient, caring and loving always when they are dealing with the residents. Also special thanks to Dr. Hammond for his care for Shane.

Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be held at Haskett Funeral Home, 49 Goshen Street North, Zurich on Saturday, May 9th from 10 – 11 AM. Where Shane’s funeral service will be held at 11 AM. Interment to follow at St. Boniface Roman Catholic Cemetery, 72567 Bronson Line, Zurich.

Condolence from Suzanne Plourde-Doran on April 28th, 2026 10:11 AM

My family and I are sad that the world is without such a happy heart . The most beautiful thing is we can never think of Shane without smiling big. He was a cousin that was bigger than life …we looked forward to his visits to Kapuskasing, that had no specific reason but to visit. I am inspired by his bravery in later life. I’m not sure that such an amazing heart can ever be forgotten. Peace to you Shane! XO
