Kevin was a family man and an amazing friend. He would always talk about his mom,  niece, nephews,  Monica and the kids. You couldn't ask for a better friend than Kevin. He would always be there for you through the good, the bad and the ugly. I'm going to miss our conversations and hearing his laugh. I'm so blessed to have had such an amazing man to call a friend. My condolences to his family and loved ones. 

Dear family and friends of Kevin. 
I just heard today about the loss of Kevin.  I'm sending you my condolences at this awful time. 

Kevin was for a while a truly beloved coworker on a big scanning project at Coventry Healthcare.  And with his wonderful personality, great attitude and charm, Kevin made so many friends. 

I will always think of Kevin  and smile.  To his family, I am so sorry for your loss. And I appreciate that you shared Kevin with us.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, my deepest condolences.  Bless your entire family.
Prayers and Love,

Kevin was an all around humble, generous, guy who lived life to the fullest. A fan of the San Diego Chargers,  wrestling,  and of course his AZ Wildcats the passion he had for his sports is how he felt towards Monica, the kids, his mom, family and friends. I am a Sun Devil fan and he never let me forget who was more superior his Wildcats.  We worked together a few years back and the stories and laughs we shared were memorable and ones I will never forget. We  lost touch a few years back but regained contact after running into each other out and about and when we talked it was as if we never lost touch.   He had that laugh that when you heard it made you want to laugh along with him. The last time we talked over the phone he was upbeat talking about Monica, his mom, and when I asked him about the kids he was elated. Even though I could not see his face I could tell that he was smiling and he laughed  that Kevin laugh. I told him if he could jump through the phone I know he would to show his excitement. He told me that I was the same way when he asked me about my niece and nephews and we both agreed when it comes to kids that are your life you can't but help smile and jump for joy.
My deepest condolences and prayers to Monica, the kids, the entire McGuire family and his friends who he considered part of his family.  He was a lover of life and all of you. 

Kevin, 
You were taken to soon... I will always be thankful for the love and light you brought back into the life of my dear friend Monica. 
I knew from the first time I saw you two together that you were her one true love. 
Rest in Peace.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the McGuire family. Kevin was a kind man.  Wishing you peace and comfort during this hard time

With Sympathy,
 from all of us at the Salty Dawg II.

Kevin was one of those people who was simply hard to not like. He exuded generosity, a passion for life and enormous love for his family. He fit into our family seamlessly right from the start. He was a great storyteller and we I loved reminiscing on the 80’s decade, and sharing UofA basketball stories. 
The memory of Kevin that I will always remember the most, will always be of him scooping up Lindsey and putting her on his shoulders, with her lighting up with a giant grin. 
The love he had for them was clearly evident. I love you my friend for the way you treated Monica and both the kids. RIP, you will be truly missed, and we will never forget you!  ❤️

Kevin and I went to elementary school together. 
He has been there for me during some tough times. He was such a caring and great person. 
Kevin, you will always be remembered. 
I know you are in a good place now and complete Peace.

Sincerely,
Marie

One of the memories that sticks out the most is the party we had at my house when we were 15. Everyone was drinking and being stupid. Pretty much ended with cops being called and parents showing up. Being the guy you were, you didnt have an ounce of alcohol and didnt smoke. You and Angela watched little Bobby to make sure he was entertained and safe. You didnt judge anyone or look down on us for being stupid. You stood by to make sure everyone was safe especially the baby. Such a responsible teenager and adult. You knew how to have fun and play it safe at the same time. I will miss your laugh and your ability to lift anyone's spirits. We will all miss you terribly 

I remember that he always wanted to play football in the street when we where growing up. 

I thank Trident Grill for introducing us. I had moved across the country in 2010 and didn't really know many people. We realized we both had a mutual appreciation for horror movies. You were kind enough to bring DVDs to work for me to take home and keep myself entertained because I was too poor for cable lol. We kept in touch over the years after I left Tucson to move back home; which I'm very grateful for. I went back and read through all our messages last night and it's hard to believe I won't be seeing that Facebook messenger bubble with your picture pop up on my phone anymore. I hope you're up there having a blast meeting all the celebs you hadn't gotten the chance to meet down here. We'll miss you, Kev. 

You are the friend everyone needs. I’m glad god introduced us. Your conversations were hilarious! You had the slickest of come backs. Always joking, hardly serious. You were the luckiest guy I had ever met and for that my nick name for you will forever be Mr. Buddha. Your claw machine skills were unbeatable. You met many people during your journey here on earth, your pictures of the famous can be made into a museum. You were always doing something! You always won tickets to concerts and games. I was always so jealous and would ask you to teach me. I will never forget the day I had to bring my daughter to work with me, you and Samantha talked on the phone with my little girl for hours. Keeping her entertained! You spoke so highly of your girlfriend and of the kids. I remember thinking “you’re an awesome dad” 
I can see now why god decided to take you with him. You are way too cool, too awesome, too lovable, too kind for earth. I know your wings are big and beautiful. Just like you! We miss you Kevin! You will never be forgotten bro bro! <3 

Kevin, you gave me and the kids the best years of our lives. You were my rock, my best friend, my lover, my partner, my comforter and biggest fan. We were so unbelievably happy and you loved my kids like they were yours. We were so lucky to have you in our lives. You gave me the courage to pursue my dreams and I am so grateful for you love and support. My heart aches so bad and I wish I could hold you, call you, kiss you. We lived like millionaires on a dollar budget because of your great luck. My fondest memories will always be of us together. I love you, Babe. Forever.
