MacKean was born on November 23, 1998, to Nicole Robertson.  He attended Mashburn Elementary, Otwell Middle School, Forsyth Central High School, and graduated from Georgia Cyber Academy on June 3, 2017.  He just started a career at ISS Facilities Services, Inc. as a general maintenance technician entering an apprenticeship for data center facility maintenance. 

MacKean loved God, family, friends, and music.  He played the French horn and marched in the Forsyth Central “Flash of Crimson” for three years playing the mellophone.  He was a very special force of nature, kind-hearted, loving, and always willing to help anyone with a project, he had a brilliant mind and was also mechanically inclined.  He is more loved than he ever knew and will be missed more than he ever could have imagined. 

The family will receive visitors on Thursday, July 20, 2017, from 6-8 pm, and on Friday, July 21, 2017, from 2-4 pm and 6-8 pm.  His funeral service will be on Saturday, July 22, 2017, at 1 pm at Cumming First United Methodist Church.  Immediately after the service, he will be laid to rest at Sawnee View Memorial Gardens.
