Jason was born November 6, 1981, to Rex Dean  and  Enid (Dooley) McGuire in Elk City, Oklahoma, and passed from this life unexpectedly from a heart attack on May 27, 2024, in Alva, Oklahoma.

He was raised and educated in various cities due to moving often in his adolescent years. Jason attended Alva High School. He later attended Northwest Technology Center, where he studied construction technology.

He met the love of his life Jennifer Wilson (Dooley) when they were nineteen years old; the couple was married January 21, 2003. From this union came two children, Korey and Joe. They lived life to the fullest, enjoying every moment. In his family, Jason found love and admiration. Together, the family enjoyed a life of peace, spending every free moment together. Those moments were filled with incredible laughter and support. Jason was a devoted husband and father, who worked hard to instill life-lessons in his children.

Jason enjoyed watching all sports, but his favorite were the ones his children participated in. He was a die-hard fan of the OU Sooners and the Green Bay Packers and Nascar. If possible, he never missed a single event. He had numerous hobbies, but none were more important than his family. Most of his hobbies revolved around sharing old memories and new experiences with his children.

Jason loved people with his whole heart. He was a very passionate person; people knew exactly where they stood with him. Jason had a wonderful sense of humor. He kept everyone he knew laughing the entire time he was around. He was generous and kind. He tried to help anyone he thought needed it. Jason will be unbelievably missed by his family and those who loved him.
