David Brooks McIntyre, age 59, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, November 22, 2024. David had an adventurous upbringing with his brothers in West Chester, PA. At the age of 16, he surrendered his life to Christ, and the Lord guided his path all the way to eternity. David's hope ... "but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31. David spent many years in the mission field serving as a church-planting pastor with Association of Baptist for World Evangelism (ABWE) in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. David was the author of a 3-book series called The Fall, on Amazon Kindle. He was the founder and cofounder of several Bushcraft Survival schools in central Brazil.  He had a popular YouTube Channel dedicated to survival tutorials and family memories, under the handle “Colhane – David McIntyre”. David showcased his talents and resilience when he became the winner of Alone – Season 2, on the History Channel. After his epic victory, David went on to become the Global Director of Set Free Ministries, in Grand Rapids, MI. David’s ministry and service to the Lord took him to Africa, India, and the Dominican Republic, where he educated leaders in Spiritual Warfare. David answered every call with “Yes Lord, send me!”. David will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his children, Erin (John) Hunley, Karina McIntyre and Caleb Womac, Daniel McIntyre and Linnea Aguirre; grandchildren, Mathias and Zoe Ann; mother, Suzanne McIntyre; brothers, Jeff McIntyre, Carl (Janice) McIntyre and their children, Caleb, Samuel and Marie. Other loved ones include Carole and Terry Tufts and extended family, as well as friends around the world.  He was preceded in death by his father, Robert McIntyre.  A service in celebration of David's life will be held on Saturday, December 7, at 10am at Crossroads Church, 800 Scribner Ave. NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504.  The service will be live-streamed.  If you wish to send flowers, please send them to the church or in lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of David may be made to Set Free Ministries.

We just finished Alone and saw David’s win tonight. I wanted to see what he was up to since and stumbled upon his obituary . How very sad and shocking to hear of his passing-especia lly after watching the final episode tonight. He was always our family’s favorite from the beginning. His resilience and strong faith were admirable. I don’t have the heart to tell my children that he just passed. They were cheering for him at the end of the show. I’m so very sorry for your loss. God bless
