OBITUARY<br />
John Mikha<br />
Mackay<br />
John Mikha Mackay was<br />
born in Iraq on July 10,<br />
1948, and passed to the<br />
fullness of everlasting life in<br />
America on March 15, <strong>2024</strong>.<br />
Arriving in America from Iraq<br />
with a bachelor’s degree in<br />
accounting from the University<br />
of Baghdad in 1971, John<br />
attended the University of<br />
Detroit and earned a master’s degree<br />
in business in 1972. He was an executive<br />
at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan<br />
for over 20 years.<br />
John was the director of the Chaldean<br />
Federation of America as well<br />
as one of the founding members. He<br />
became the first Chaldean councilman<br />
of Lathrup Village in the 1990s<br />
and opened a path for future Chaldean<br />
generations to run for political<br />
office. John worked diligently with<br />
others for over a decade campaigning<br />
for Chaldean recognition. In<br />
2000, Chaldeans were identified in<br />
the census for the first time.<br />
He was the son of the late Mikha<br />
and Amina Mackay, father of Matthew<br />
(Michelle) Mackay and Laura Mackay,<br />
and grandfather of Charlotte, John,<br />
and Callahan Mackay. He is preceded<br />
in death by siblings Hayatt (late Fethalla)<br />
Habba, George Mackay, Basim<br />
(Haifa) Makhay, Wadie (the late Najat)<br />
