Edward Mackey of Southampton died on October 19, 2017, at Southampton Hospital. He was 61.
Mr. Mackey, known as “Bubba” to many, was the son of the late Ernestine Mackey-Green and the late Emmanuel Frazier and was born on September 4, 1956, in Charleston, South Carolina. He attended Charleston County public schools. At an early age, he relocated to Southampton, and was employed by Stachecki Farms, Scott Wilson Landscaping, then Southampton Cemetery, where he remained until his health failed.
Mr. Mackey was a jack of all trades, he could repair just about anything and was always willing to lend a helping hand to whoever needed his assistance.

West of Southampton, and Shawn C. West (Laura) of New Jersey; a daughter, Tunica S.
