He was born in Cortland, New York, on May 19, 1950, the son of Robert Nye McIntosh and Florence Hennesy McIntosh. He spent his childhood and young adulthood in Florida. He was a graduate of Edgewater High School in Orlando, Florida and attended Orlando Community College. He traveled all over the Southeast for his work and advanced his way up to become a superintendent in the commercial construction business. John was a true patriot and loved his country. He deeply loved all of his family and was deeply loved in return. John loved animals, could grow anything, build anything, and repair anything broken.
