Iain Michael MacArthur, 52 , passed away on  May 30, 2025 in Florida, surrounded by his family. He was the husband of  Christine   (Williamson) MacArthur and son of Laurence and Patricia (Moloney) MacArthur. Iain was born at Cape Cod Hospital and spent the first 50 years of his life on Cape Cod. The last two years of his life were spent in Florida at his dream home on the lake with his wife and two sons.

Iain was a graduate of Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School, the class of 1990. Following graduation he worked for Christmas Tree Shops where he found a love of driving and obtained his CDL license. He later found joy in working for Shepley Wood Products, taking his Jack Russell, Jake, to work with him every day.  Later he became the owner of A & E. Forms.

His favorite pastime was hanging out at home in the “mancave”.  He loved having family and friends over.  If the garage door was open, they were always welcome.

One of his greatest accomplishments was winning Hot Rod Magazine Top Speed Challenge in the Super Street Class driving Bill Amaral’s “Death Proof” Camaro in Wilmington, Ohio in 2015 with a top speed of 221 MPH.  He loved the sound of loud engines.  His one request before he passed was to make sure there are plenty of loud bikes and vehicles at his celebration of life.  Please honor his request.

Iain is survived by his wife, Christine MacArthur, his three children, Kayla Robinson and her husband Curtis, and Christopher MacArthur and Nicholas MacArthur.  Also surviving are: his mother, Patricia A. MacArthur, his sister Neeley Martin and her husband Sean, his brother Keith MacArthur, his sister Lauren Amster and her husband Michael, his sister, Autumn Collette and his grandchildren, Emmett and Everly Robinson and nieces and nephews. 

His three treasured dogs, Brodi, Kenzi and Axel remain in the care of his wife, Christine and sons.

Bean, Life isn't a bowl of cherries, but we do what we have to do. We swallow the pits and just move on. See u back in the sunshine state. Ian, my note to u is to behave up there. We are all watching over u and what did u do with my red rug? xxo Sally and Bob

Iain was our first trailer truck driver, many years ago. He had to learn the ropes on his own because driving a 65' long vehicle through the narrow roads of Cape Cod is something you can only teach the basics of. Learning the fine points was up to Iain and he did that very well. It's always helpful to have a partner and Iain had Jake, his Jack Russell, who traveled with him in the passenger seat of his truck. Jake became a fixture on jobsites around Cape Cod and SE Mass. The sight of Jake running up and down the bed of the truck, patrolling while Iain unloaded materials at the job, was one that many of us remember. Who was supervising who? Iain was a good improviser, and I remember watching him figure out how to pick up the back end of his trailer and shuttle it around with his own truck mounted forklift to get out of a tight spot, after someone had mistakenly given him directions to head down a dead end road. He thought his way out of that tight spot and did it with skill and a sense of humor. I admired his resourcefulness. We all miss him. God speed Iain....and Jake!

Christine, Neeley, Pat and all the MacArthur's, I am so sorry for your loss. Too young. May your wonderful memories keep you in your grief. with love, Sue
