Harrison
“Drack” Mackey was born July 6, 1947, in Memphis, Tennessee, to the late Harrison David Alexander and Ruthie Lee Mackey Alexander. He confessed his hope in Christ at an early age. Harrison attended Geeter High School. He retired as a truck driver with Methodist Hospital.
Drack (a legend in his own right) never met a stranger and was loved by many. He was known for his infectious personality, huge appreciative laugh, a smile that would light up a room, and the fact that he could back up whatever he said. He lived life to the fullest and did everything he was big and bad enough to do. He was a member of the Street Brothers Unlimited Motorcycle Club and later founded the Street Hogs Motorcycle Club. He brought riders together from all over the nation, and other clubs have emerged as a result. He had a profound love for people, motorcycles, and cars. His charismatic charm made all who encountered him feel special.
Drack was preceded in death by a grandson, Derek Briscoe, two brothers, and one sister, Jimmie (Mildred) Alexander and Eddie (Phyllis) Alexander and Barbara Jackson.
He leaves to cherish his memory three sons; Rhyan Flowers, Durrell (Nicole) Mackey, Donald Drain; four daughters Sherry Mackey, Tarasha Mackey, Katina Cox, and Jevita Mackey; his dear friend and forever wife Freddie Mackey; twenty-three grandchildren; thirteen great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and loved ones. He also leaves one brother, RC Alexander and two sisters Rose Berry & Lynda Andrews.
“Daddy’s Girls”
We thought you were invincible and could conquer anything. You made us feel so special; our daddy was a king.
You never said I’m leaving, You never said goodbye. You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why.
A million times we’ll need you, a million times we’ve cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a special place, that NO ONE could ever fill.
It breaks our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone. Part of us went with you, the day God took you home.
Daddy’s Girls, Sherry, Tarasha, Nicole, Katina, & Jevita

“Pops”
My Pops was the Best Daddy in the World to Me
A lot of people loved him, and this is a fact.
To us, he was Pops, good or bad he had our backs.
Traveling, hanging out and just being our friend
We will even miss that sly little grin.
A man’s man who loved motorcycles and cars
We’re proud of you dad, a legend among stars.
The epitome of a man’s man, you taught us many things
We hold our heads high; you taught us to be kings. We’ll miss you, Pops!
Your sons, Bird, Stank, Ray Ray
Missing You
We didn’t get to say goodbye, it repeats inside our head
It fills our hearts with pain, and our very souls with dread
We never said those final words, whispered quietly in your ear
But we did say “I love you”, enough times for you to hear
It isn’t about the final words, that we said or those not spoken It is about the love expressed, the bond that not even death has broken.
Your favorite people in the world
Your Grandchildren
Don’t Cry For Me
Don’t cry for me. I will be okay. Heaven is my home now, and this is where I’ll stay.
Don’t cry for me. I’m where I belong. I want you to be happy and try to stay strong.
Don’t cry for me. It was just my time, but I will see you someday on the other side.
Don’t cry for me. I am not alone. The angels are with me to welcome me home.
Don’t cry for me, for I have no fear. All my pain is gone, and Jesus took my tears.
Don’t cry for me, this is not the end. I’ll be waiting here for you, when we meet again.
