Donald Ray Mcguire

Don is survived by his wife, Donna, his three sons, Brian, Jeff, and Cody, his daughter-in-law Katie, and his beloved grandchildren, Landen and Cameryn.

Don graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 1971 with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. He met Donna in 1978 in New York City while they were both working for NBC. After moving back to Albuquerque, New Mexico, they got married in 1980. A year later, the couple welcomed their first son, Brian. In 1983, the family moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, where he began working for Raycom Sports as an Executive Producer. While in Charlotte, Don and Donna welcomed their twin sons, Jeff and Cody, into the world, and the family was complete.

In 1987, the family picked up and moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where Don began working for Turner Sports as an Executive Producer and Senior Vice President. During this time, he was in charge of the network’s coverage of the NBA, NFL, and MLB. Additionally, he also served as the Executive Producer for multiple Winter Olympics, Pan American Games, the World Cup, and the Goodwill Games. Don was an accomplished and revered leader and mentor.

In 1996, the McGuire clan moved to Coppell, Texas, and Don began working for Host Communications. Over the years, all three sons graduated from High School and began their adult lives, with Don always serving as the most loving and supporting father they could ask for.

Don later served as the Executive Producer and Senior Vice President for Programming, Production and Operations for The Golf Channel. Over his distinguished career, Don won multiple Emmy, Cine and CableAce awards.

A memorial will be scheduled at a later date. All will be welcome to attend and celebrate Don's life. In lieu of flowers, please send condolences to the McGuire family at 2709 Sunlight Drive, Little Elm, TX 75068.
