Dr. Gary Don McGinnis, 74, of Rock Hill, South Carolina, passed away at home on August 21, 2026 surrounded by family.
Born on March 3, 1952, in Dover, New Jersey, Gary was the beloved son of Rose Theresa Marotta & Charles Don Stucchio, and step-father Albert McGinnis. He graduated from Montclair State University and then Life Chiropractic College before opening his own practice in Port Huron, MI, where he served the community for many years.

He found great joy in golfing, practicing martial arts, playing piano, writing, traveling and gardening. Above all, Gary cherished his wife Joey and the time spent with his children and grandchildren.
Gary is survived by his wife Jo Ann Marie McGinnis, son Gary James McGinnis, his daughter Stephanie Faith Christy (Brent Joseph Christy), and grandchildren Samson and Luca.
