Obituary

Ricky Lynn McGuire, 76, of Cloverdale, went home to be with the Lord on June 10th 2026 at 2:05 A.M. at, surrounded by his loving family at his home.

Ricky was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend. A third-generation row crop farmer, he dedicated his life to the land and took great pride in continuing his family’s farming legacy. After retiring from farming in 2014, he proudly passed that legacy on to his son and grandsons.

An avid outdoorsman, Ricky enjoyed spending time deer hunting, duck hunting, and crappie fishing. He treasured the friendships he built throughout his life and was known as someone who could always be counted on. He shared a special bond with many lifelong friends whom he considered brothers.

On June 9, 1968, Ricky married his high school sweetheart, Donna Faye Stover. Together they built a life filled with love, faith, family, and cherished memories, sharing 58 wonderful years of marriage.

Ricky is survived by his beloved wife, Donna Faye McGuire; his daughter and son-in-law, Sandy and Luke Edmiston; his grandchildren, Drake McGuire and wife Keaton, Dalton McGuire and wife Courtney, Hallie Edmiston, and Miles Edmiston; and his great-grandchildren, Fields, Covey, Landry, and Adeline McGuire, with another great-grandchild expected in August.

He was preceded in death by his son, Darryl McGuire; his daughter-in-law, Paula McGuire; his father, L.M. McGuire; and his mother, Marjorie McGuire.

Services will be officiated by Brother Royce McGuire at Edmaiston Mosley Funeral Home in Union City at 12:00 p.m. Saturday. Visitation will be held from 10:00 a.m. until service time Saturday. Burial will follow at Zion Cemetery in Cloverdale.

Honorary pallbearers will be Thom Hagan, Mark Reasons, and Harold Parkinson.

Ricky’s legacy lives on through the family he loved, the friendships he cherished, and the farming tradition he proudly passed on to future generations.
