The passing of yet another warrior: Dale McIntosh (USMC, Force Recon)


Dale McIntosh, Utah native, former Force Recon Marine-turned private security contractor has passed. Warrior SOS expresses heartfelt condolences to his surviving family members, many of whom have already passed and therefore he is currently embracing in heaven.

Dale and I spoke frequently after the unexpected passing of his brother, Blake. It really tore Dale up inside.

Thank you to the anonymous posting on the blog we did on behalf of Blake to notify us of Dale's passing. Subsequently, a search on Facebook confirmed Dale's passing. So far, according to what's written, the investigation is on-going.

Dale will be missed tremendously.

One of the last posts he wrote was that of any true warrior would value:

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself--nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."
