When Martin Mackey was a teacher at the REAL School on Mackworth Island and trees fell on the property, he taught his students how to mill the wood and build a tongue-and-groove shed. For physical education class, he took them on adventures kayaking, hiking and rock climbing.
“He was a very out-of-the-box kind of innovative thinker,” said his sister, Marisa Mackey, of Tempe, Arizona. “He loved finding that spark in each child and developing that so they would feel like they had something special to offer the world. He did that for every student. He saw the potential and good in everyone.”
Mackey died April 20 while surfing with his son, Wyeth, off Lecount Hollow Beach in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. He was 47.
He’d been surfing for about 15 minutes when he appeared to lose consciousness, his sister said. Other surfers carried him out of the water and performed CPR, but efforts to revive him were unsuccessful. An autopsy was performed to determine how he died. The results are pending.
He was known for his creative thinking, positive outlook and adventurous spirit.
Mackey was an extreme endurance athlete, who shared his passion for cycling, canoeing, skiing, climbing, surfing and skateboarding with his family. In the online tribute, he can be seen after a bike ride, covered in sweat and mud and flashing a wide, toothy smile. Photos show him cross-country skiing, on winter hikes, standing atop mountains.

In memory of those who "died suddenly" in the United States, April 26-May 2 (Part 2)
This is heartbreaking, and the willfully blind still won't see it. A few months ago, I came across an article stating that, based on the rate of sudden death among athletes, we'd be seeing sudden deaths in the general population increasing month after month, and it seems to be proving true. Wait. I found it: https://dailyexpose.uk/2022/01/28/covid-19-jabs-projected-cause-62-mil-cardiovascular-deaths-2022/
RIP, and love to the families. ❤️ That must have been so hard for the son to witness his dad die while surfing. 😥
