ASHTABULA — Brian Donald “Mac” Mackynen, age 55, of Ohio Ave., died suddenly Sunday, Nov. 22, 2009, from an apparent heart attack.

A member of the BPO Elks #208, the North End Club, and the East Ashtabula Club, he also enjoyed hunting, fishing, traveling, working on cars, riding his motorcycle and bowling.
