James "Jim" Leonard McIntosh entered this world on January 2, 1937, in Hathaway, MT, as the son of Arnold and Barbara Kowis McIntosh. Jim rode off on the back of his favorite horse at the age of 14, working for his room and board at neighboring farms and ranches. He was from a very young age always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need.
At the age of 18, Jim became a Navy man and was stationed in Argentia, Newfoundland. He proved he had an eagle eye by moving airplanes in and out of hangers with such precision and skill, he never so much as nicked a wing.
Later on, Jim moved into work as a construction laborer. At one job, he was told not to return unless he shaved his beard. The next day he showed up at the job site, unshaven; Jim was his own man. At another job, he told the bosses he thought he could do better, so he went out and bought an old backhoe and tractor and proved that he COULD do it better . . . he was a man always up for a challenge. And that was the beginning of "Jim's Excavating."
Known for his hard work in business as well as a man who was available for others, he spent a lot of his downtime helping the elderly. Over the years, Jim became well acquainted with so many people and became great friends with people of all ages and all walks of life.
A true cowboy at heart, and with a deep love for all animals, Jim bought and trained mustangs. Anyone who knew Jim would attest to him being a very giving, forgiving, and generous man.
Jim is preceded in death by his parents; brother Frank; daughter Tammy; wife Lola; and two infant grandchildren: Amanda Jo McIntosh
Chad Michael McIntosh along with many dear friends.
Surviving is his wife, Rose; Jim's children Johnny, Rita, and Laurie; as well as his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Rose would like to thank Collette and John, Jerry and Arlene, Kassie and Andy, Norris and John, and all of those who have been helpful during this time of grief at the loss of our beloved Jim.
Memorials in Jim's name may be sent to Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Foundation.
