Derick Mackenzie

Peacefully at home with his family by his side, Derick Mackenzie passed away on May 6th, 2025, after a very courageous battle with cancer.

Beloved husband of Catherine Mackenzie (Bielaskie) and father of Jenna Mackenzie. Lovingly remembered by mother-in-law Jenny Bielaskie (Late Dominic) and brother-in-law Kevin Bielaskie (Zabrina) and nieces and nephew, Kayla (Chad), Mitchell, Shaylyn and great nieces Payton and Rylee. Remembered also by many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Predeceased by parents, Murdock Mackenzie and Catherine (Hooper).

Born February 14th, 1961 in Sudbury ON, Derick has called Carp home for many years. Retired in 2020 from the Federal Government, where he worked as a senior technologist for Canmet Energy. His free time was filled with outdoor and active hobbies including skiing, biking, fishing and most notably curling. He was an avid curler and a longtime member of the Huntley Curling Club in Carp. A true blue Toronto Maple Leafs fan, he would be so thrilled with their success this season.
