Today, March 30th 2014, I lost the love of my life; Guy Ray McBride.
Born on March 21st 1954 to Shirley F. and May P. McBride.
Guy was the 4th child, having two sisters; Shirley Bodrero (Arden, deceased), Annette Godfrey (Mark, deceased), and one brother; Blaine McBride (Hilda).
Guy married Kate Speth McBride on June 2nd, 1975; they were later sealed for time and all eternity in the Logan Temple.
Together they raised six amazing children; Bishop Ryan & Mary McBride (Smithfield), Veronica & Mike Tyler (Layton), Nicole & Shaun Anderson (Grace ID), Cassie & Josh Veater (Santaquin), Patrick & Shayla McBride (Vernal), Jordan McBride & Tia Ceresola (Fiance).
His children were so important to him and he was so proud of each of them for all their accomplishments.
Being a Grandpa was probably the best thing that ever happened to him. He was the baby rocker, holder, & protector. He so loved his Grandkids and watching them grow. He had eleven grandchildren: Maggie & Libby McBride; Grace, Max, & Bennet Tyler; Bracken, Nayvie, Tytan Ray, Kenadi, Emery, & Nixon Anderson; and Alyvia Veater (to be born in May).
Right before Guy’s high school graduation he enlisted in the Air Force and served from 1972 - 1978 when he was honorably discharged.
Guy worked in several places, but finally found his nitch working at Hyrum City Corp. Working his way up to Electrical Superintendent. Guy was also the rep for UAMPS, and loved that association. Guy was also a volunteer fireman, and enjoyed the camaraderie and working with the Fire Department for the past 29 years.
Guy loved serving in the church in many different callings; his favorites have always been working with the Scouts, teaching in the High Priest Group, and He loved teaching in the Sunday School with his Wife. He will always be remembered by many as a faithful and caring Home Teacher.
Guy was unfailingly reliable and depended on by many; he was a steadfast example of faith and loyalty to those he loved, and by those who will always love him.
In lieu of flowers; the “Guy Ray McBride Memorial” fund has been set up at America First Credit Union for a memorial bench in his honor.
