I’m so sorry to learn of Mack’s passing. He was a great guy! I always enjoyed seeing him. I am praying for all the family during this difficult time.
To all of the family- my most heartfelt condolences- I have known Mack since we both did HVAC in the 80’s and we both became inspectors later in our lives. He was a character of true character. He would always tell me that people would not know what to do if he and I worked for the same county. But Mack and I were always on the same team. I always looked forward to seeing him at the upper state meetings and at the sc plumbing,mechanical and gas inspectors conferences. As speaker I would always call on Mack to bless or meal or the conference. He was always there for me and I always felt we had each other’s backs. God bless your soul Mack Brown and please comfort his family. You will be missed
Mack was a great friend. We built a friendship around sobriety and it was a privilege to have known him. Rest in peace my friend. My love to Elaine and the family.
Elaine ,and family., My heart and love goes out to all of you. What is there to say about Mack, but that he was a prince of a guy. To know him was to love him. Mack was a brother Mason, for a long time. Everything that I have thought of about him has already been said. I just know that I will miss his witty ways. May GOD make smooth the path that lies before you. In the days and months ahead. Remember that if we are believers we will see him again. RIP my friend, until we meet again. Your friend in Christ.
