Mr. McIntyre was born in Albemarle, NC on August 7, 1939 to Roy and Mantia Morton McIntyre.    Wayne’s first career was carrying on a family tradition as owner of McIntyre Masonry.  A school board member asked Wayne to teach Masonry and Construction at West Montgomery High School where he remained a teacher for 11 years.  During this time, he became a self-taught locksmith and opened a saw sharpening shop.  Wayne continued his employment with the State of NC as a maintenance supervisor at Montgomery Community College until his retirement.  Wayne also enjoyed many years of service as a volunteer with the Troy Fire Department.  In addition to his parents, Wayne was preceded in death by his brother, Roger Van McIntyre, and his special canine friend, Abby.  Wayne was a devoted husband and father.  His passion was his garden, especially his tomatoes, asparagus, and corn.
