At the age of 45, died tragically in a motorcycle accident on September 11, 2009. John was born on December 14, 1963 in San Francisco and is survived by the apple of his eye, his son Seamus McGuinness (age 8) and Seamus' mother Jean.
John graduated from St. Ignatius High School, Class of 1982 and received his BA in science from SF State.
