In Loving Memory of Jeff MacIntosh
June 10, 1964 – October 20, 2024
Today we celebrate a life lived vividly—one filled with laughter, love, and the inevitable ups and downs that life brings. Jeff MacIntosh, a son, brother, father, grandfather, and friend, embraced each moment with a heart as big as his spirit.
Born in Woodstock, Ontario, and later growing up in St. Catharines, Jeff’s journey led him to the town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, where he established both a thriving business and life. His roots were nurtured by the love of his parents, Carol and Don, and the camaraderie of his siblings, Greg (Andrea) and Michelle.
Family was the compass that guided Jeff’s life. He cherished his three children—Westen (Tara), Georgia, and Brandon (Evangaline)—and found joy in being a grandfather to little Ivy. His beloved dog, Frankie, was more than just a pet; she was a loyal companion who walked alongside him through life’s winding paths.
Jeff built his business, Olde Towne Building Company from scratch. It was successful due to his skill, determination and ability to connect with his clients and community. His employees meant the world to him and he appreciated their loyalty and friendship.
Jeff had a gift for making every moment count. Known for his infectious laughter and vibrant presence, he filled rooms with joy, often leading friends to the dance floor with a familiar “Cooo Cooo Cooo!” His love for life was palpable, and many of us can still hear the songs of the ‘80s that we shared with him, each song a reminder of the good times, a song that reminds us of the better times.
Generosity flowed from Jeff like a river. He was the first to lend a hand, whether to a friend in need or a stranger on the street. His acts of service spoke volumes; for him, caring was not just a gesture—it was his love language. While this openness made him vulnerable at times, it also created a web of connections, where each of us felt the warmth of his kindness.
Yet, Jeff’s journey wasn’t without shadows. He faced profound loss—the passing of his sister Dona, his father Don, his grandparents, beloved aunts and an uncle, weighed heavily on his heart. These experiences shaped him, revealing both his strength and his struggles. The battles he fought with his own pain were deeply felt, and those who loved him shared in this poignant reality.
In the final chapters of his life, Jeff remained an eternal optimist, reaching for the light even when the path was steep. Recently, he shared a heartfelt Thanksgiving with family, reminding us all of the love that defined him. Those conversations were filled with hope, and he held on to the belief that he could rise again, surrounded by the love that had always lifted him.
As we remember Jeff, let’s honor not just the man he was, but the love he gave so freely. To have known him was to experience a profound connection that transcended words. In his last days, he felt our love and longed to return to us fully.
May his spirit remind us to live boldly, to love fiercely, and to carry forward his legacy of kindness, generosity and laughter.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you embody Jeff’s generous spirit and engage in a random act of kindness, no matter how small or big. Donations to Save the Elephants or Sick Kids would also be appreciated.
Rest well, dear Jeff, we love you and you will forever be in our hearts.
