Charles Barry Mcguire

Charles Barry McGuire, 81, passed away peacefully on December 11, 2024.  Barry was born on July 18, 1943, to Shirley (Sergeant) and Charles (Mac) McGuire.  He graduated from Hastings High School in 1961. In 1965, he graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Delta Chi (Civil Engineering). In 1966, he married Donna Steeby; they were married 54 years prior to her death in 2020.

Barry's career in the power plant construction arena took his family to many exciting places in Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, Utah, Malaysia, and Indonesia. He and Donna were always up for an adventure, but his heart always remained at Gun Lake, where they eventually built a home to enjoy after retirement.

Barry is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, Paul and Laurie McGuire; granddaughter Gretchen McLaughlin; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law Linda McGuire, Richard Steeby, Charles (Jean) Steeby, Don (Marcia) Steeby, and Anona Steeby; many nieces, nephews, and countless friends.

In addition to his wife Donna, he was preceded in death by his son Mickey McGuire, brothers Pat and Mike, brother-in-law David Steeby, and sister-in-law Anne Steeby.
