Dave McIntosh, Palm Harbor, FL—The Palm Harbor community and the family of Dave McIntosh are heartbroken after his sudden passing on Friday, October 4th. Dave was found unresponsive at the school where he taught, a place where he was admired and respected by students, colleagues, and parents alike. His death has left a void in the lives of those who knew him.
Dave was a loving husband, devoted father, and caring stepfather, always bringing joy and love into his family. His wife, Alexis Grob, shared her grief on social media, expressing the immense pain and loss she and their children—Jack, Rory, and Darian—are facing. Alexis remembered Dave as an intelligent, witty, and adventurous man who brought laughter and love into their lives. The family had recently been through significant hardships, as Jack and Rory had previously lost their mother, Cheryl, in 2020. Alexis had vowed to care for them as her own, and their future plans together as a family now feel shattered without Dave.
The community has come together to show support during this devastating time. Friends and family, including Alexis, have been deeply moved by the outpouring of love from those who knew Dave. Tributes on social media reflect the profound impact Dave had on those around him.
Alexis Grob expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming support, saying, "Thank you to everyone who has reached out so far. Darian and I are beyond lucky to have had the love of a man that was loved by so many… his friends, his coworkers at the school, and his students and their families."
Friends and well-wishers have taken to Facebook to share their heartfelt condolences and memories of Dave. Alexis Grob herself posted, "I am devastated to have to give the news that my husband, Jack and Rory’s dad, and Darian’s stepdad Dave McIntosh has passed away… he was the most loving and giving husband and father, and right now we are lost without him."
