Dave McIntosh, a cherished father, husband, and educator, passed away unexpectedly on October 4th, leaving behind a family and community in mourning. Dave, who taught 6th-grade history at Tarpon Springs Middle School, was known for his sharp wit, intelligence, and big-hearted nature. His passing comes just a few short months after he remarried, leaving his new wife Alexis Grob, and his sons Jack and Rory, who had already endured the loss of their mother, Cheryl, in 2020.
Dave’s sudden passing has deeply affected his family, friends, students, and the local community. As a dedicated educator and loving family man, his influence extended far beyond the classroom. Dave’s passion for life and adventure, coupled with his warmth and humor, made him an irreplaceable figure in the lives of those who knew him. His sons, Jack and Rory, are active members of the Tarpon Springs High School and Dunedin Highland Middle School band programs, where they continue to be supported by their peers during this difficult time.
A GoFundMe page has been set up by family friend Libby Duncan to help ease the financial burden on Alexis, Jack, Rory, and their stepbrother Darian. The funds will go towards current expenses and supporting the family as they navigate the future. Donations have already been made by members of the community, including contributions from Chelsea Champion ($15), Michelle Williams-Vaden ($500), Natasha Gaukhshteyn ($50), and Libby Duncan herself ($500). The generosity shown reflects the love and care the McIntosh family has always shared with others.
On Facebook, friends and community members have shared their condolences and memories of Dave. The Isle of Skye Highland Dancers posted, "Jack and Rory’s dad, Dave McIntosh, tragically passed away a little over a week ago. The boys lost their mom in 2020. Dave recently remarried a wonderful woman named Alexis. Please keep these sweet boys, their new stepmom and stepbrother in your thoughts and prayers and consider donating." Another post from Jessica Frey reads, "Awl, he was such a nice guy. Sad to hear. Keeping them all in my thoughts."
As the McIntosh family grieves this unimaginable loss, they are surrounded by the support of their community. Our thoughts and prayers are with Alexis, Jack, Rory, Darian, and all who were touched by Dave’s life. May they find comfort in each other and in the outpouring of love from friends, family, and those whose lives Dave impacted.
