John Macintyre, 73, of Sarnia, Ontario, passed away peacefully Saturday, May 28 2022, at St. Joseph’s Hospice surrounded by his loving family. He was born February 8, 1949 in Glasgow, Scotland to Iain and Ann, married Susan in Barbados in 1990 with beloved friends Dave and Oriel Macintosh in attendance and soon after welcomed two beautiful daughters.
Jmac was a big personality with endless entertaining true stories to tell (living in Africa as a boy, memorable stays on the Isle of Skye, his days playing competitive soccer, touring with famous bands, etc.). John had many an “adoptive” daughter and son among his own two daughters’ friends, always sharing his music, laughter and his home. In the community, he was instrumental in the development of the Sarnia Girls Soccer Club and was a founding member of the Young Theatre Players.
John will be dearly missed by his wife and soulmate, Susan and his daughter Mairi. Loved by sisters-in-law, Jill Macintyre, Kay Mott, Cindy Garrett, brothers-in-law, Rex (Marnie) Garrett, Paul (Ann) Garrett, Mike (Wanda) Garrett, and Keith Squires. Treasured Uncle John to many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his daughter Eilidh, brother Duncan, parents Iain and Ann, in-laws Rex and Ivy Garrett, brother-in-law James Mott, sister-in-law Sylvia Blain, nephew Jimmy Mott, and niece Susan “Sam” Meston.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the doctors and nurses of the St Joseph’s Hospice, his oncology team, and all who loved Johnny Boy. We know he will be enjoying his “cheeseburger in paradise” while looking out at the “stars on the water”.
Sympathy may be expressed through donations to St. Joseph’s Hospice and The Huron House Boys Home.
