If only love could have healed him…
A Memorial Service for Michael Andrew McGinn, 74, of Humble, will be held at 10:00am, Saturday, April 8th, 2023 at Kingwood Funeral Home, 22800 Hwy 59 N., Kingwood, Texas.
Mike was born on November 4, 1948 in Tucson, Arizona to parents, Lieutenant Colonel Fred Lee McGinn Jr. and Sara Harriet Kuenstler McGinn. He passed away on March 30, 2023 in The Woodlands, Texas.
Mike spent most of his youth in Abilene, TX, and enjoyed traveling to San Antonio and Corpus Christi. He would graduate from Abilene High School where he was a member of the tennis team. He continued to play tennis into and throughout adulthood. After high school Mike attended Cisco Junior College and had a run at a few universities after that — including, but not limited to Texas A&M. (He swore he got in on the merit of his baby brother Dave.) After enjoying all the fun he could, he signed up to serve in the United States Marine Corps, serving from 1972-1976.
After his time in the Marines, Mike moved to Victoria where he reunited with Dave, and his wife Janet. In Victoria is where Mike and Rhonda first met. They were both working at Union Carbide but met at Victoria Church of Christ. Mike and Rhonda were married on November 22nd, 1979.
After three children and many moves later, Mike settled his family in Humble, TX. He took a job at Lyondell Petrochemical in 1990 and worked there until his retirement. In Humble is where Matthew, Stephanie, and Brandon would grow up and spend most of their youth and school years. Mike enjoyed watching them participate in sports and school activities, and always joined in on the fun when their friends were around. He was the life of the party. He and Rhonda continued to live in Humble until his death.
Mike was a loving and devoted husband, father, brother, and PawPaw.
He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Rhonda Sue Sutton McGinn; son and daughter-in-law, Matthew and Samantha McGinn; daughter and son-in-law, Stephanie and Jamie Ware; and son and daughter-in-law, Brandon and Jessica McGinn. His surviving grandchildren, his pride and joy, include: Allison McGinn and Kennedy Ware, Jadence Young, Deegan and Logan McGinn and Cooper McGinn.
