Martin John McGuire

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our beloved father, husband, Papa, and friend. He lived a life full of love, joy, and adventure, and his memory will forever be cherished.

Our father had a deep love for his family, and he always put us first. He was a devoted husband who showed his wife unwavering love and support throughout their 36 years together. He was a doting Papa to his grandchildren, who adored him and will always remember his playful spirit and gentle demeanor.

Our father had many passions in life, and he especially enjoyed spending time outdoors. He had a green thumb and spent countless hours tending to his garden, which always bloomed beautifully. He loved nothing more than being outside, whether it was fishing in the Chesapeake Bay or playing a round of golf with his buddies.

But above all else, our father loved his family. He was a selfless and kind man who always put others before himself. He was a source of strength and comfort for all of us, and we will miss him dearly.

Though our hearts are heavy, we take solace in the fact that our father is now at peace. He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and a zest for life that will continue to inspire us all. Rest in peace, Dad. You will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Marty was born in Silver Spring, Maryland to Martin and Annetta McGuire.

He is survived by his loving wife, Paula McGuire and his two children Rachel Penafiel (JC) and Nick McGuire (Monica).
