David
Randall McGuire
APRIL 19, 1959 – OCTOBER 31, 2021
David Randall McGuire, age 62, of Coppell, Texas passed away on
Sunday, October 31, 2021. David was born April 19, 1959 in
Sharon, Pennsylvania.
David ("Dave") Randall McGuire passed away on October 31, 2021,
at the age of 62. Dave was born on April 19, 1959 in Sharon,
Pennsylvania. He was welcomed into the world by his parents,
Arthur and Nancy McGuire.
David grew up in Carrollton, Texas with his parents and brother,
Tom. While attending R.L Turner High School, he met his future
wife, Melissa McGuire.
Dave and Melissa were married on September 24, 1982. They
welcomed their daughter, Katherine, into their lives on May 16,
1988, followed by their son, Christopher, on October 12, 1990.
David and Melissa enjoyed 38 years of family trips to Ruidoso,
New Mexico, sipping wine on the coasts of California, and
visiting the Texas Hill Country together until her passing in
March 2021.
Dave followed in his father's footsteps as a solo steel
salesman, taking over and becoming the face of Premier Metals
for over 30 years. When he wasn't selling steel, Dave was a man
of many hobbies. From tinkering in the garage, building model
rockets, to fully restoring multiple Lotus cars, Dave was always
known for his ability to fix or build just about anything.
Dave loved to ride his bike with the Coppell Rebel Riders Team,
which is and was a group of forever friends. Some of his
favorite memories included hiking and skiing the mountains of
New Mexico with friends such as the Lovelady Family, the Stanley
Family, the Brooks Family, and many more. He was the best cook,
who made countless pasta dishes, charcuterie boards, and the
best Sunday morning breakfast. He was also a member of one too
many California wine clubs (Fort Ross was his favorite.) He will
always be known for his extreme sarcasm, jokes, kindness and
genuine heart. But above all, Dave loved being a father and
grandfather, who loved his family with his whole heart.
He was truly one of a kind, and will be greatly missed.
Dave is survived by his daughter, Katie, her husband, Jed, and
their daughters, Ava (5) and Addison (2). He is also survived by
his son, Chris, his wife, Myka, and their daughters, Finley (3)
and Piper (9 months). His brother, Tom and family, as well as
Melissa's parents, brothers, and numerous nieces and nephews,
will help give us strength to endure the loss of both of our
parents within the same year.
We love and miss you, Dad. We promise Sophie is in good hands.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Big Pig Cancer
Foundation, a mountain bike racing team whose proceeds go to
