Guillermo Antonio Mackintosh was born in Vaqueteros, El Tule, Chihuaha, Mexico, on a beautiful Sept. 1, 1936, day to Guillermo Mackintosh Reynaga and Clara Luz Tabares Moreno. Mr. Mackintosh only went to elementary school in Mexico as he began to work at an early age, and self-taught himself several things by purchasing an Encyclopedia Britanica while working in the U.S. He met the love of his life and married Maria Margarita Martinez on Aug. 26, 1962, and were married for 40 years, two months, and 26 days. He would tell anyone who asked how long they had been married down to the hour and minutes.

Mr. Mackintosh was a jack of all trades. He worked several farming and ranching jobs in Pecos County to include Hiko, Nev., and Alamo, Nev. He was proud of working and taking care of the trees at the pecan orchards at Belding Farms. While in Hiko he worked at a dairy farm for William Scholfield whom he treasured and saw as his second father. He also worked as a mechanic and road foreman in Colorado, as foreman for Pecos County Precinct 2, and the once governor of Nevada Floyd Lamb where he had a horse named Cane that would follow him where ever he would go. He also encountered his best friend “Boy,” a red heeler who he once lost at the Las Vegas Airport due to Boy jumping out of the truck. Boy later found his way back to the ranch in Alamo one week later where they had a happy reunion.

Mr. Mackintosh also had an interesting past from Mexico, and would share his stories with those he was close to, his daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren. These stories were a part of what made him who he was until the day he passed away.

He was a strong willed and prideful man. He would do what he needed to take care of his family, and was a humble human being. He self-taught himself to read and write in English, and was proud of being in the U.S. In the 1990s he became a U.S. citizen. He was truly proud of his Scottish and indigenous roots from Mexico.

He and his best friend Abelardo Gonzalez shared many things together, as they would sit for hours telling each other stories, speaking of government and politics. Mr. Gonzalez was always amazed at Mr. Mackintosh's intelligence. He would state there was nothing Mr. Mackintosh did not know, and that he was absolutely brilliant. Many who had encounters with him would have to agree, as there was never a question that was answered with a simple one as he would go into great detail to explain the question asked.

He loved to carry conversations, and was a true Republican who loved his Second Amendment rights. At one time while ill in the hospital, he checked out early to make sure he was able to go vote, and believed his vote counted in 2017 as he came out of the voters building with his hand held high and his fingers in the V shape noting victory.

Guillermo Antonio Mackintosh was preceded in death by his beautiful wife, Maria Margarita Mackintosh; his sons at birth; his parents Guillermo Mackintosh Reynaga and Clara Luz Tabares Moreno; his amazing sister Silvina Mackintosh; nephews Joe Anthony Martinez who carried his middle name, and Jose Manuel Mackintosh, Jr., who was a Mormon missionary; his great granddaughter Jocelyn Angelique Vargas; Crispy, Boy, and his faithful companion for several years that kept him company when his wife passed away, Kiki Mack.

Guillermo Antonio Mackintosh is survived by four daughters, Elizabeth Ann Lopez (Frank Lopez), Norma Ann Martinez (Roy Green), Lucia Ana Mackintosh (Matthew Castro), and Virgina Ann Esquivel (Antonio Ortiz); grandchildren Junior Vargas (Ashley), Christopher Vargas (Sarah), Naomi Vargas, Camelle Manzano (Aaron), Santos Martinez, Elijio Martinez, Esai Ontiveros (Nancy), Chance Castro, Britney Connor, Jacinda Dowden (Eric), Carlos Baiza (Jonathon), and Destinee Rios; 16 great grandchildren; and his faithful Janay and Kika Mackintosh.

Guillermo is also survived by his sister Chole Fuentes (Mario); his brother Jose Manuel "PePe" Mackintosh (Rebecca); and half sister Ruth Becerra and spouse; and several nephews and nieces as well.

Honorary pallbearers will be Junior “Pedro” Vargas and Chance Castro who will be wearing a Scottish kilt in his honor.

Memorials may be given to GFJ Ministries. They do street ministries to save lost souls and feed the homeless.

The family of Guillermo Antonio Mackintosh wishes to extend our sincere thanks to his beautiful daughter Vicky Esquivel for the dedicated hours she put in to tend to him and his little companions, to Home Hospice, Chaplain Scott Owens, Amey Owens, Pecos County EMS, Judge Joe Shuster, Dr. Cecil R. George, Pastor Isaiah and Evelyn Blancas, GFJ Ministry,  his best friend and adopter brother Abelardo "Abe" Gonzalez, and especially his two best friends Janay and Kika Mackintosh, and all those he encountered at any convenience store who showed love and compassion to this gentle soul and his companion.

Daddy, you were the best anyone could ever have as a provider, a leader, a comforter, and a father. Your presence, as big as it was in life, will be missed in death. The leader of the Mackintosh Clan has gone home to be with Jesus, his Savior.
