BOMBER MEMORIAL

DOUGLAS EUGENE "DOUG" McINTOSH ~ Class of 1972
January 9, 1954 - January 24, 2025



Douglas Eugene McIntosh passed away at his home in Portland, OR after a serious illness on January 24, 2025. He was 71 years old.

Douglas was born on January 9, 1954 in Richland, the “Atomic City”, where he was raised and where his dad worked at the Hanford Site. Douglas attended Richland parochial and public schools, including Christ the King School and Chief Joseph Junior High, graduating from Richland's Columbia High School in 1972. After graduation, he joined his dad working the family farm, Sun Ray Orchards near Benton City, while attending Columbia Basin College.

In 1973 he joined the U.S. Army and served in Germany as a medic. After being honorably discharged in 1975, he moved to the Tacoma area to complete his education at Ft. Steilacoom Community College. He moved to Portland and worked as a cook for six years. He then worked in the private security industry in downtown Portland, retiring in 2012.

Douglas led a private, self-supporting, modest, honorable life and never married. He had an acerbic and shrewd view of life in downtown Portland, having lived there for so many years. Doug published a fairly successful apocalyptic fantasy genre novel “Day of the Dogs” on Amazon in 2013 and attained some notoriety with his blog “Doomer Doug”.

His parents predeceased him. He is survived by his sister. Kathy McIntosh Fritts ('65) in Portland; his brother, John McIntosh ('68) in Kennewick; as well as a large collection of nieces and nephews to whom he was always affectionately known as "Uncle Buck".

Douglas will be interred in Willamette National Cemetery.
