Marvin Ray McIntyre's Obituary
Marvin Ray McIntyre, 84, of Cape Coral, Florida, passed away peacefully on Monday, June 1, 2026, at Hope Hospice.
Born on May 13, 1942, in Indianapolis, Indiana, Marvin was the son of the late William J. and Mary (Hobson) McIntyre. He was raised in Indianapolis, where he built the foundation of a life marked by service, devotion to family, and a deep sense of humor. Thirty years ago, he made Cape Coral his home, embracing the sunshine and community of Southwest Florida.
Marvin was a proud patriot and honorably served his country in the United States Air Force for eight years. His dedication to service carried into his civilian life, where he worked for the City of Cape Coral in the Utilities Division, retiring after 20 years of faithful employment.
A man of strong faith, Marvin was a devoted member of Southwest Baptist Church. There, he served as a Deacon and participated in numerous mission trips, offering both his time and heart to helping others. His church family was an important part of his life, and he found great fulfillment in his service.
Marvin enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. He loved spending time outdoors, tending to his landscaping, and visiting the gun range. He was also an enthusiastic sports fan, cheering on the Green Bay Packers and Notre Dame Fighting Irish football teams. Known for his appreciation of history, Marvin could often be found sharing fascinating stories or engaging in thoughtful discussion. He will be especially remembered for his playful spirit and fondness for practical jokes, which brought laughter to all who knew him.
Above all, Marvin treasured his family. He is survived by his beloved wife of 51 years, Candace C. “Candy” (Johnson) McIntyre. He was a loving father to Chris (Ryan) Flatter of Indianapolis, IN; Marty (Melanie) McIntyre of Indianapolis, IN; Russell (Maureen) McIntyre of Palm Harbor, FL; Marvin (Lynndyll) McIntyre of Oldsmar, FL; and Monica (Scott) Olive of Albuquerque, NM. He is also survived by his brothers, William J. (Sheri) McIntyre of Greenfield, IN, and Donald (Nancy) McIntyre of Indiana; and his cherished grandchildren, Cassandra (Alex) Heuermann, Brenne (Justin) Perner, and Trent (Marissa) McIntyre. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, Steve McIntyre.
