Brittney McIntyre Obituary

Friends wishing to call and pay their respects for Brittney Nicole McIntyre, age 13, at her home, 335 Pine St., Ormond Beach, may do so Saturday from 4 until 7 p.m. at Dale Woodward Funeral Home, 167 Ridgewood Ave., Holly Hill. An honor student at Ormond Beach Middle School, Brittney died Monday after being struck by a pickup truck. She was born in Cocoa Beach, but raised here in Daytona since she was 3 months old. Brittney loved school, was an avid reader and a math wiz. She found joy in such things as cooking with mom, watching the sunrises at the beach, listening to music, playing video games with her brothers and building electronic gadgets with her stepfather. Brittney was a delight to be around and her loss leaves many broken hearts. Survivors include her mother and stepfather, Peggy and James Cleary, of Ormond Beach; her father, James McIntyre, of Orlando; four brothers, Dylan Sanborn, Nathaniel McIntyre, Adam Cleary and Alex Cleary, all of Ormond Beach; maternal grandmother, Bonnie Sanborn, of New Lexington, Ohio; maternal grandfather, Richard Sanborn, of Daytona Beach; great-grandfather, Richard Sanborn, of New Lexington, Ohio; paternal grandmother, Janice McIntyre, of Daytona Beach; step-grandparents, Linda and Jim Cleary, of Ormond Beach; an aunt and uncle, Miranda and John Sasu III, of Daytona Beach; and her beloved dog, Chewy. In lieu of other remembrances the family suggests donations be made to the Halifax Humane Society, 2364 LPGA Blvd., Daytona Beach, FL 32124.

Hi Brittney
I went to the park today and I saw the bench. Your bench. I had to know who you were. I don't know you well, but after looking for your story, I know you a little. I did the same things as you 45 years ago. I just wanted you to know that you still live on - you still touch people - and I can picture you skipping to school.
I wish I could have met you before there was your bench. I can tell by your friend's letters how special you are.
Thank you for being an angel.
Your friends need you to watch over them - your loss will stay with them forever.
Watch over them, beautiful little angel.

Thinking of you today, your an angel and will never be forgotten.

Momma and Vin its your other adopted daughter Jessica. I miss you guys. And I miss Brittney like crazy, I wish we could all have her back. That morning when Alyssa and Jon woke me up I didnt believe them, I got up and said shut up your lying. And I got up and called her name. But she just didnt answer me. I just didnt know what to do. She was my best friend and she still is. She was an amazing person and I love her so much. And I know her soul still lives on but I would still love her back. You told me she is happy now and that she is on her stair case to heaven. I understand that we cant have her back and it sucks. I know this letter really wont do anything but I just wanted to show you guys that when I said no matter what happenes Im still here for you. So see Im here. And I love you guys. And Im just a phone call way.

Love aways and forever, Spaz.

To Family,
Brittney made school so much more exciting, she never let me take the easy way out of things. I remember the one thing she wanted to do with me was go on a trip to Hong Kong or somewhere Asian!! She loved Volleyball and badminton. I loved her Baking!!!- I miss everyday and wish all the best!! Everyone at school shows their emotions every now an then when she is brought up.
I just wanted to let you know that we all loved her so much!! and will forever miss her!!!! ♥Amber

My prayers are with you that you and your family make it thru this as best as can be expected. I regret having never came over, and missing the opportunity to have met her. She will always be your beautiful baby girl, and just because she's in a better place, doesn't mean anyone will miss her or love her less. That's for sure. My heart is with you.

To my beautiful daughter Brittney,
I love you an miss you more than word or I could ever express.There's not a second that goes by that my heart does not ache for you. I need so bad to hold you hug you and kiss that pretty little face,an tell you how much mommy loves you. I miss grocery shopping with you an cooking, playing 500 rum with you. I know that we had made big plans for you, but, God has bigger and better plans for you. I know that you are an angel in heaven now. But I'm sorry I want you back I miss you sooooo much my heart will not stop hurting all I do is cry my bestfriend has been taken from me and I don't know why? All I do know is that I want you back...I want to see that beautiful face smile and hold you I want to smell your sweet pea body spray after you get out of the shower. I go into your bedroom ever morning and ever night to say good morning and I love you an ever night to tell you night and I love you. I love spending time in your room listening to your favorite songs and reading your poems an looking at your pictures. Vin (dad#2) says he loves you with all his heart an miss you like crazy. He said how he has know one to pick on and know one to pick on him. He also said who is going to snag his hoodies an run of with his shoes. We all miss your blond moments. Like is the blue man group really blue? Or what kind of meat is this? "Its rib eyes". Well as long as its not beef. Your so funny an I miss those moments... Brit, when I say my prays at night I've ask God to make you a dentist appointment, cause I know how you love to keep your teeth white an pretty. I found your Brittney neckless, I've put it on and thats where it will stay. Your brothers miss you, Dylan says to quit trying to scare him. Alex has know one to fight with and monkey around with in the hallway and close the door on, Nathan is just so lost with out you he has know one to go to the libarary with or argue with. Adam is just beside himself lost he also lost his bestfriend. We all miss you so much, Our lives have changed in so many different ways with out you here with us,all I do is cry and live with a broken heart. I don't understand why you have been taken from us, but we are not to question God because he has his reasons. But what I do know Brittney, is that when God is ready he'll put you back into mommys arms. So until that day comes make me proud and be the best angel you can be because I know that you are a awesome daughter,so I know you'll be a awsome angel. Please watch over all of us and have your blond moments and make the other angles and God laugh and smile like you did here on earth. I want you to play on the clouds with my mamall and aunt Peggy and the othe angles smile an laugh until I get to heaven to be with you. Chewy miss you really bad he'll sit in front of your door but won't scratch to get in. Brit I never knew all the people you have touch in the 13 years of your short little life. So many want to help all because they love you so, everyone says what a beautiful child,an a beautiful smile. Your friend all say if they are having a bad day they look for you to make them smile because you always have a kind word to say to make them fill better an make them laugh. Your memory will live on forever in all of us,an your kind words and love will never be forgotten. Brittney, I LOVE YOU!!!! I'll see you again one day in heaven.... I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!!! LOVE YOU MOMMY!!!!!

Dear Peggy Cleary and family
I was one of Britteny's good friends since 2001 when I moved here for 1st grade. We have been friends since then and I wouldn't want it any other way. When all this happened I didnt want to beleive any of it, but then i realized this was real and it came as a shock to me. I hope this all goes well and I will always be there for your family. I will miss her dearly. She may be gone but she will never be forgotten!
