MACINTYRE – James (Jim) Francis
April 1, 1964 – March 10, 2010
Jim MacIntyre of Calgary passed away on Wednesday, March 10 2010 in his home at the age of forty-five years. Born in Antigonish, he is the son of Lynn and Jack MacIntyre. He is survived by daughters MacKenzie and Cameron and by his friend Denise McIntyre. He was a devoted father and his greatest achievement was being part of his children’s lives. The fifth of ten children, Jim was a proud Antigonisher and Nova Scotian with friends from one end of the country to the other. He was a meticulous journeyman carpenter who loved the trade so much that he was always doing something for friends and family on weekends. Jim was full of the devil, and he touched the lives of everybody he met. We don’t think he’ll ever know just how much we love him or how much we will miss him. You are in our hearts Jim-Bob, and we’ll proudly carry you around with us . . . you live on with us, and we will pass on and share those memories so that you will live on for your children and for all of the people you cared about.
Funeral Services will be held at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY’S Fish Creek Chapel (14441 Bannister Road S.E.) Forward condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.
In living memory of Jim MacIntyre, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNERAL HOMES, Fish Creek Chapel, (14441 BANNISTER ROAD S.E.) on Monday, March 15 , 2010 at 2:00 p.m. Telephone: (403) 256-9575.

To the MacIntyre family- Denise and Children.
I have many fond meomries of Jim as a teenager and young adult being a frequent flyer at the MacIntyre house. I will remember his evil snicker and sense of humour. Good-bye Jim. Our thoughts are with your family at this sad time. Peace and good memories be with you all.
To Denise, Cameron, Mackenzie and the MacIntyre Clan.
I was greatly saddened to hear that Jim had died last week. My words cannot lessen your pain nor can I provide any comfort from afar but I would like you to know I do share in your grief. I will miss my all too infrequent engagements with Jim and his spontaneous nature. Sorry for your loss. Allan
To the MacIntyres & Denise and children…I was saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. I have been thinking of him a lot these past few days and every thought leaves me smiling as he was such a kind and truly genuinely nice guy. My thoughts of him take me to “Mrs Mac’s” paved driveway to ride my trike with him and Phonse, seeing him in school each day where he always made me feel like someone who counted as he would give a hello with that captivating smile of his that really was the window to his heart. Whenever he “cut” through our backyard he always had time to chat with Mrs Lukeman and was careful to walk under the laundry!! Jim took pity on my need for an escort and took me to my graduation dance at X…..that was a long time ago but I remember how much fun he made it….his time here was short but his light shines on in his children and in the beautiful memories he left us with. My deepest sympathies to you all.
I am very sorry to hear about Jim’s Death. Please accept my deepest condolences. I have always had a special spot in my heart for the Macintyre clan.
Our heart is saddened by your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers

We were saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. We were fortunate to meet him when we traveled to Alberta, he was instantly a part of our family and a true friend. We will remember that smile and snicker that greeted you each time you met. Rest in peace Jim, we will remember you always.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult of times. Jim was a great person and he will be missed.

Dear MacIntyre Family,

My many memories of Jim were from hanging around the Macintyre house with what seemed like hundreds of other kids, hearing Lynn yell out his name and he always arrived with a big grin! Such a nice guy who will be very much missed by a family full of love. My thoughts are with you all.
Jan, keep all your memories of Jim close to your heart.
Love, Mary
My condolences to the entire MacIntyre family as you deal with the loss of a loved one. My prayers are with you in this trying time.

Thank you all for all the love and support, it helps alot.
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to express my absolute sadness at hearing of Jimmy’s passing.
He made class
We were in class together since grade primary and what a rascal he was
much more interesting year after year!
I have in my mind’s eye a picture of him with Mr Ralph MacIntosh, Joey MacFarland and Paul Aubrecht on our big road
trip to Louisbourg. Just a bunch of boys hamming it up for the camera….and Mr MacIntosh
grinning away.
That is my special memory that I remember today…
Hugs and kisses to his girls….I wish I was there to do it in person.
He was a great guy and will be missed by so so many from home and across the country.
My sincerest condolences…
Dorinda MacIsaac
May it comfort the MacIntyre family to know that when you lose a loved one, the grief that you are all feeling cannot take away the happiness you all shared . Thinking of you in your time of sorrow .

I am sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. I have not seen ‘ Jim the devil’ in about 15 years however I have not forgotten that grin. My sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones at this time.

Dear Lynn, Jean and family,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear son, brother, uncle, and Daddy. You are in our hearts and in our prayers now and in the difficult times to come. Take care of each other.

Deepest sympathies to the MacIntyre family. I considered Jim a good friend over the years from knowing him in jr. high and years beyond high school. He was always a true cool cat and had that friendly way and permanent smile. I’m sure he was a perfect ambassador for Antigonish up in Calgary. A great guy and a terrible loss.
Condolences to the MacIntyre family, Sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. I have memories of Jim coming over the hill, from the Heights, heading for his grand mothers, (Mrs Mac). Jim would come over for a few minutes. Here Jim, Andy Hartery, and I, would share a few short stories and many laughs. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
My Deepest Sympathy to Denise, MacKenzie, Cameron and the Entire MacIntyre Clan.
I have so many great memories from our younger days! No one could make me laugh like Jim! Jim will be missed by so many people who loved him!
Will keep all of you in my prayers,

Our deepest sympathy to all of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.
We moved in by Jim shortly after starting a family. The wonderful hardwood hallway of our place was actually built by Jim.
We’ve been kept so busy by our baby, the first I ever knew of Jim being gone was encountering Denise by his house and hearing the news from her.
Jim, you should still be with us. Condolences to you all
No words can express how powerful and comforting all your thoughts, condolences, and stories are to all of us; especially the smiles and laughs he has brought to so many. Many sincere thanks for your thoughts, very appreciated.
So Sincerely
Jean
Please accept our deepest condolences. We worked with Jim for some time. He had a great smile and a wonderful personality.
Don and Lynne
