It’s with great sadness we share the news that Mackenzie Andrew Sweet passed away suddenly on Monday, June 26th, 2023 at the age of 33 after a courageous battle with Leukemia. Mackenzie was a 9 year veteran of Peel Regional Police and will be deeply missed by his work community. He will be remembered by his family and friends for his love of exploring the outdoors, his witty sense of humour, and his passion for being a Police Officer. When Mackenzie wasn’t working, you would find him either biking or hiking with his dog Sookie, riding his motorcycle, or planning his next adventure.

Dear grandson of Barbara Sweet (Late Del) and Elsie Dodgson (Late Gord). In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation

Thoughts & Prayers to the Sweet Family & 21 Division personnel. Mack was an amazing young man & Police Officer. Mack touched everyones heart. Mack was a guest speaker at my son’s school for Relay for Life and helped raise $26,000.00. The last time I saw Mack was at 21 Division at my retirement party March 16th, Mack gave me a big hug & wishes. Mack looked great, I was shocked & very sad to hear of his passing, taken too soon R.I.P.

James& Sheila Orton says
Condolences to the Sweet family. Watching Mac grow up has been one of those pleasures in life. Spending as much time over the years as I have with him has brought many laughs and chats about life and his love of hunting. I have reflected over the last few days of those magical moments which we will cherish for ever. The trips to and from the camp for years his sense of humor, always asking questions, smile on his face and quick witted. You have departed this earth in body and mind but the impact you have created on all of us will remain in our hearts and minds forever. Mac ( ALWAYS IN THE FIELD )
