May 19, 2023 at 7:56 pmHeyward was a friend to.all. A humble and kind man to his neighbors and animals alike. He could cook anything on his outside grill and often shared with others. He always waved, said hello and chatted a minute or two, whenever he passed by. Heyward was devoted to his wife Caroline and his family. He lived an honest and charitable life. We will miss him greatly.

Trust that God is with you and your family. I wish that I could be with you in person. I heart and my prayers are with you in spirit. I went through this same experience six years ago. So, call me anytime and I will be calling you. We have been friends and family since our youth and I thank God for our friendship now.
God Be with you.
Love you .

May 23, 2023 at 3:31 pmCarolyn, Sending my deepest sympathy for the loss of Mackie, as I knew him. I was so young but knew him from Jean & Nate Wilson. I always remember him being at family cookouts. He was always so funny and full of smiles and kindness. That is what I remember. May God give you the comfort of peace in your memories of his beautiful spirit.

May 25, 2023 at 9:17 amAlthough I didn’t get the opportunity to know him on a personal level, whenever he was outside it was always a pleasure to talk with him. He was so friendly that I was always hopeful that he would be out, sitting at his garage door, ready to talk to anyone that would pass by. He was an inspiration to be around and often changed my mindset knowing that he could help change my attitude for the good by just a short conversation.
Thank you for being a small part of my daily life !

May 25, 2023 at 1:00 pmWhat a beautiful service!

Cummings Sr High School Class of 1972 says
May 25, 2023 at 2:06 pmDuring the early seventies, Mr. McKie was a teacher/coach at Cummings Senior High School in Burlington, NC. I will always remember him as a positive role model who cared about the students. He would challenge you to get the most out of any of the God-given talents you had, either in the classroom or on the athletic field. He was also a humble man. A few of us knew Mr McKie had been a standout athlete in college, but I never once heard him brag about any of his own collegiate accomplishments. Later we learned that he was inducted into the NC A&T State University Hall of Fame.
Mrs McKie, on behalf of the Class of 1972 of Cummings Senior High School, we offer our sincerest condolences on the passing of Mr McKie. May he rest in peace.
Yvonne Williams says
May 25, 2023 at 3:01 pmMy heart is saddened Carolyn as I learned of Heyward’s passing today! His huge presence will be missed amongst his community! He was the best neighbor a person could have and was always kind to my late husband John and our kids! Our kids still talk about his sweet potato pies! Heyward was truly a people person and one whom we know loved his wife! I pray for your strength during the coming days, months and years — this is truly a process! Always in my heart!
Darryl A Jackson Sr. and Family says
May 25, 2023 at 4:06 pmOur hearts are heavy at the loss of a giant man in faith, family, business and friendship. He was a mentor to many and I am thankful for having met him when I was yet a four-year-old boy. He introduced Bernard and I who have been friends for 64 years. I shall never forget his smile, charisma and the great person that he was. Family, please accept our prayers and condolences.

We were blessed to have him as a neighbor. All of the love we have experienced by knowing him lives on in our hearts. Channel that love and the love of our Lord, and may peace be upon you. We will continue to pray for you.
