Doyle Gene McIntosh, 91, of North Platte passed away on May 1, 2026.
He was born on Jan. 27, 1935 in North Platte to George and Wilma Cady McIntosh.

Doyle was active in Scouting during his youth and achieved the rank of Star Scout. He attended NPHS, where he excelled in both basketball and football. In 1952, he enlisted in the United States Air Force, serving his country for four years, followed by an additional four years in the Air Force Reserve.

He was employed by Union Pacific Railroad, where he worked as a switchman, hostler, locomotive fireman, and engineer. Doyle dedicated 30 years to his career before retiring in 1995.

On Dec. 28, 1982, Doyle married his eternal companion, Janet Anderson. They shared 44 wonderful years together and a deep, abiding love.

A lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Doyle was a devoted and faithful believer in his Lord and Savior. He also had the opportunity to serve at the Winter Quarters Temple.

Doyle was known for his sense of humor and his love of a good bargain. In his younger years, he enjoyed playing pool, finishing fights and was known as a fierce protector of his brother, Ronnie. He spent many hours tinkering and fixing things and enjoyed watching sports. He was proud of his Scottish Highland heritage. He also dearly loved his pets—Teddy, an energetic Yorkiepoo, and his cats, Taz and Kiki.
