George Stuart McIntosh

George met the love of his life, Cathy, in Kamloops where they were married and raised their family. They shared many happy memories over their 41 years of marriage. To support his family, George dedicated 36 years to the forest industry and finished his working career at Highland Valley Copper. He was a hard working employee and always took pride in a job well done.

Family was of the utmost importance to George. With quiet strength, he led by example and was an amazing role model for his children. He was always happiest amidst the chaos of large family functions and gatherings which often took place at their home. He was very proud of his entire family and many considered the McIntosh house to be the pulse of the family. George had a wonderful sense of humor and his quick, witty remarks continued to make us all laugh and lighten tough moments until the end of his life.

George is survived by his four children, Shawna (Brad), Brent (Andrea), Amy (Sam) and Joe, grandchildren, Alix, Cloe, Nolan and Lauren, his siblings, Bonnie (David), Gord (Julie), Marg (Ivan), Bill (Steph) and Tom, in-laws, Rene and Nadia Rotzinger, Tara (David), Debbie (Stan), Rob (Julie) and numerous nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.

George was predeceased by his parents Doug and Rollie McIntosh.

Cathy and her children would like to say a special thank you to the Home Care nurses, Pratts Pharmacy (especially Sheena), Royal Inland Hospital Cancer Clinic and their amazing doctors and nurses who provided excellent care to George and are truly the angels among us.
