I extend my sympathies to the entire Mcguire family. I spent alot of time in my childhood riding for this ranch. I remember Kevin to be quiet and have a no BS approach to the cattle. I remember, at that time, he rode a hot blooded horse named Bridger, that didn’t stand still for a second. Truck rides, he always had Billy Joel playing, and when lunch rolled around (hats off to Lois’s great cooking) he had a book in hand. I am sorry for the families unexpected and tragic loss.

I’ve known Kevin for a long time as my father hauls cattle for the McGuire ranch. I also had the privilege of cooking dinner for the haying crew for a summer. Kevin was quiet but would sometimes make a joke at the dinner table or even had a story to tell. The McGuire Ranch and family is in my family’s thoughts and prayers.
Tim & Lisa Bond says
Our deepest sympathies to the McGuire family. Keeping you in our prayers. Kevin will be missed.
Barbara Cole & family says
