MCINTOSH, Doug McINTOSH DOUG “BUGSY” McINTOSH, beloved husband of Heather, passed away peacefully in the Chinook Regional Hospital on Tuesday, May 16, 2023, after a courageous battle with cancer.
He was born and raised in Coaldale and loved it. Doug explored various careers. He established D. Mc Services, which he owned and operated until he was no longer able to work.

Bugsy had the biggest heart; he would go out of his way to help in any way he could. His contagious laugh and unique sense of humour could brighten anyone’s day. He was especially proud of his grandson, Mitchell’s accomplishments.
He was a legend. We never forget those who gave us so much to remember.
Besides his ever-patient and loving wife Heather, Doug is survived by his stepdaughter Tracy McCormack of Angus, ON, adopted daughter Brandi (Grant) Peard, grandchildren: Mitchell, Shay-lynn, Brooke, Marcus and Madi; sister Linda (Don) Going, brother Tom (Susan) and their families.
