Chris F McIntyre age 85, of Sun City Florida, formerly of Wayne New Jersey, passed away peacefully on September 21, 2026, surrounded by his family. Born on July 30, 1941, in Paterson New Jersey.
He was a proud US Navy veteran, prior to his career working for Prudential Insurance first as a sales agent and then moving to a management role. He then spent several years working for the Passaic County Sheriffs Department in the capacity of supervisor of the Sheriffs department EMS program. He also worked in school security for Passaic County Vocational school.
He began his service in the Township of Wayne as a volunteer firefighter with Preakness Fire Company #4. He then joined the Wayne First Aid Squad in 1980 and continued his service for 35 years holding many positions in leadership for the squad.
Chris served for 20 years on the Wayne Township Council, representing the Fifth Ward, His initial election win in 1995 put a Democrat on the council for the first time in at least two decades, and for much of his tenure he was the only Democrat serving on Wayne’s governing body.
McIntyre was also active with Wayne Elks Lodge #2181 for many years. He held many positions for the Elks club including Exalted Ruler. In 2015, the Wayne Elks selected him as its Man of the Year in recognition of his years of service to the community.
His commitment to his family and the community of Wayne was unprecedented.
Chris is survived by his wife of 60-year JoAnn Finamore McIntyre daughter Jami McIntyre Freeman (Jed), son Craig McIntyre Grand Children Katelyn McIntyre Alexandra Freeman and Danielle Freeman Baker (Austin).
In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to the Wayne Memorial First Aid Squad.
