It is with a great sadness that we inform you that ‘Slow’ Joe McIntire has passed away. We received the news through a close friend of Joe’s and his passing was confirmed by his Aunt. Although there is no obituary at the moment we will pass along any information regarding funeral services.
Joe made a name for himself following the release of Ryan Navazio’s ‘Left/Right’ video. After the release of ‘Left/Right’ Joe eventually released his own video ‘Status Quo’ which was distributed through Animal Bikes. Joe had a raw gritty riding style that the East Coast has become so welly known for and he wasn’t afraid to put his peg on anything. We hope you will all keep Joe and his family in your prayers.
In Joe’s memory we have re-posted his video ‘Status Quo’ in full after the jump.
Rest In Peace.
The Belcher family is so saddened to hear that “Slo Joe ” Joe McIntyre is gone. My sons, Dave and Steve, have many good memories of riding together with Joe. He was a nice guy and a talented rider who spent lots of time at our house when he was younger. Our thoughts are with his family and friends tonight. Ride- on, Joe.
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years already since Joseph passed away. I miss him so much. We got super close after my mom passed away and when my family ended up moving to Kensington due to financial difficulties I truly believe that was our downfall. He had so much talent that was just forgotten when he started using heavy drugs. It’s sad and ill NEVER forget the day he passed away in our neighbors house on Somerset Street because they thought he was just sleeping because he was snoring but he was really dying and it was what we call “the death rattle” but they didn’t know. I was like 10 minutes too late and just heard he had gotten released from jail and then they’re telling me your brother just left here in a body bag. It was horrible and I just sat on these steps in denial until I called the coroner’s office and they confirmed it was him
They wanted me to identify his body and I’m so glad my Uncle did it because it’s just an image you never get out of your head.
This comment may seem long and raw but it’s all 100% facts.
My brother didn’t deserve to go out like that he was too young and had too much to offer this world 💔
I miss him and all my family every day but for some reason I’m still here. I have 4 years clean that I never thought possible but yet here I stand.
If anyone ever wants to know the truth about that day I’ll tell you how it really went down.
