Mackey was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2021. Despite this, he didn’t let his diagnosis impede his career and entered the 2002 Iditarod race. However, he would not finish that race.
This was due to complications from his cancer treatment, including a feeding tube, Mackey was forced to scratch from the race and take a full year off from racing to recover. Mackey died on September 7, 2022, from the disease.
