Michael T. McIntyre

West Brookfield / Mashpee – Michael T. McIntyre, formally of Newton, West Brookfield and most recently, Mashpee, Massachusetts, passed away surrounded by his family on October 31st, 2025, at the age of 85.

Mike was born on May 3rd, 1940, to the late Stephen and Agnes McIntyre of Newton. He grew up as one of five children while he attended catholic primary school before going on to Newton High School and later serving in the United Sates Army as a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division. After his time in the military, he went on to be a successful business owner in the auto industry with multiple dealerships across the state. As a business owner he was heavily involved in town, serving as selectman, on the business council and multiple other organizations; but before all else he was a family man who always worked hard and took pride in supporting his family in any way that he could.

He leaves behind many people that he loved including Leslie Kelley-McIntyre; his children Maura Chandler, and her husband, Tony, Brent McIntyre, and his wife, Bettie, Kaylee Courtney, and her husband, Tyler, and Shay McIntyre, as well as his grandchildren Ryan, and his wife, Shaila Chandler, Christy Chandler and Riley Courtney, and his great-granddaughter McKenna Chandler. He also leaves behind his brother Peter McIntyre and his wife, Kathy Coe, and many nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews that he loved. He was predeceased by his sister Jean McIntyre, and brothers, Stephen McIntyre and John McIntyre. He brought love, life and happiness to his family, whether it be on trips to Florida, days spent on the Cape or driving around listening to stories on all topics-including things he learned watching the history channel, stories from his youth growing up outside of Boston, or random facts he picked up along the way. Mike was larger than life and he will be greatly missed by his family, friends and all the people he had an impact on throughout his life.

Michael McIntyre’s life will be celebrated this spring by his family and close friends in a private service. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made in his name to either the Mashpee Fire & Rescue Squad, 20 Frank E. Hicks Drive, Mashpee, MA 02649 or the Greater Boston YMCA at Donate to 2025 YMCA of Greater Boston Annual Fund, where he spent a lot of time in his youth.
