Harold Les McGuire passed away Thursday, June 8, 2006, in a plane crash. He was 35 years old. Les graduated from Brigham Young University with an MBA and used his vast knowledge of economics to form several companies including Engenuity and Producer Revolution. Les was a faithful friend and supporter of the Foundation for Economic Education.
He had his own radio program on Free Capitalist radio. He started his 6:30 AM show by saying, “This is Les McGuire speaking; I am the man who loves his life.”
He was married to his wife, Tina, for 11 years. He is survived by his wife and three children, Stephanie, Lindsey, and Justin. His wife is expecting their fourth child.
Les was an author and speaker who enthusiastically promoted the principles of prosperity and freedom. He was a true exemplar of what he taught and believed in, possessing integrity and an intellectual that has greatly impacted the people he met. He worked as a consultant and educator of the financial world teaching the principles of economics married with the principles set forth by our founding fathers. It was his mission to share his knowledge with others so that all could enjoy the benefits of economic prosperity. He was inspired by our founding fathers and studied under the late Dr. W. Cleon Skousen, a true patriot and constitutionalist.
Les was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He loved God, Family, Country and often said, “Do what is right, let the consequence follow.”
Les’s death is a great loss to this world. But his short life’s work will endure, and his legacy will prove to be of great worth for generations to come.
