Tim Patrick McGuire

Timothy Patrick McGuire, 67, of Lexington, Nebraska, passed away on Saturday, September 14, 2024, at his home in Lexington.

He was born on January 7, 1957, in Omaha, Nebraska, to Jack and Josephine (Kain) McGuire. He attended Lexington Public Schools and graduated from Lexington High School with the class of 1975. On August 20, 1977, Tim was united in marriage to Christine Nelson. To this union, Amanda was born. Their marriage would later end in divorce. Tim would find love again and on April 30, 2005, he was united in marriage to Lynee Hardesty at the Chapel of the Lake in Johnson Lake. Tim held many careers including working for the Lexington Alfalfa Hay Mill, Sperry New Holland and Tyson Foods where he worked as a supervisor for over 18 years before retiring in 2009.

Tim believed that he only needed five things in his life to be happy: his family, his dogs, good food, the College World Series, and playing pool. He took great joy in spending time with his family and keeping up with his children and grandchildren's activities. Tim was an animal lover who never spent much time without a dog in his life, giving extra love to his two dogs, Lucky and Luna. He liked working with his hands and often spent many hours working on different types of projects in his home as well as welding or going outside for some clay shooting. 

He was also known to be an exceptional cook. He enjoyed smoking and grilling and was given the nickname "Chef Boyardee" thanks to his famous spaghetti recipe. Tim was a big sports fanatic, who loved watching Husker Football and even played in local bowling leagues, but his favorite had to be the College World Series. He dedicated over 30 years watching with his friends and his wife. Tim was partial to many things in life, but his biggest passion was playing pool. He was a phenomenal player who competed and won many singles, doubles, and masters games at the National APA playoffs in Las Vegas as well as playing in the TAP league, coming in 2nd while playing in Charleston, South Carolina. 

Those left to cherish his memory is his beloved wife, Lynee McGuire of Lexington; daughter, Amanda (Arturo) Zamudio of Lexington; stepdaughter, Tracy (Todd) Naylor of Lexington; stepson, Troy (Lincey) McDonald of Orleans, Nebraska; stepdaughter-in-law, Christina McDonald of Juniata, Nebraska; grandchildren, Daven Naylor, Daylen Naylor, Dawson McDonald-Anderson, Quinton McDonald-Anderson, Andrew Zamudio, Anthony Zamudio, Aspyn Zamudio, Jayce McDonald, Parker McDonald, Calliegh McDonald, Ansliegh McDonald, and foster grandchild, Elsa Flores-Raymundo; brothers, John McGuire of Columbus, and William McGuire of Lincoln, as well as extended family and a host of friends.

Besides his parents, Tim was preceded in death by his stepson, Phillip McDonald, and ex-wife, Christine Mueller.
