Mac owned and operated three Napa stores in Muncie and Hartford City. His former elementary school classmate, Larae, who is now his wife, was his office manager during some of those years.
Mac was known for his kindness, encouraging and caring spirit, unselfishness, humility, compassion and his great love for God, family and friends. He would help anyone in need especially those who were widowed or couldn’t help themselves. Many thought of Mac as a “second dad” and would go to him for advice regarding questions about racing and life in general. He never met a stranger and enjoyed opportunities to make new friends and to share his faith with anyone who would listen!
Mac married Larae Simmons long after his first wife’s untimely death. He often said that he was “lucky to have had not only one, but two loves of his life.” Mac had an abundance of love to give!
He was preceded in death by his parents and his first wife, Evelyn McGunegill.
Surviving are his wife, Larae McGunegill, his sons DeWaine McGunegill (Nancy), Brent McGunegill (Bev), his daughter, Tammy Hahn (Dave), his sister Sherian Rowles (Larry), his grandchildren: Chad McGunegill, Amber McGunegill, (Corey Flint), Morgan Slager (Taylor), Chase McGunegill, Mitchell Hahn, and honorary granddaughter, Caroline Rouse. Also surviving are several nieces and nephews.
Additional survivors are members of Mac’s second family, Larae’s son Scott Simmons (Kathy), daughter, Jenny Barnes (Steve), son, John Simmons (Lisa), and several grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
The family would like to thank the nurses and staff at Morrison Woods Health Campus, IU Health and Fresenius Kidney Care for taking care of our beloved Mac.
