Martin “Marty” John McGinley, age 53, of Overland Park, Kansas, passed away on Monday, August 11, 2025. A Funeral Mass will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, August 16, 2025, at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Parish, 14251 Nall Ave, Leawood, KS 66223, with Father Brian Schieber as Celebrant. The Rosary will be recited at 9 a.m. A reception will follow the Mass.

Born on July 21, 1972, in Owatonna, Minnesota, Marty was the son of Roger McGinley and Arlene Smith. He married Jami Jacobi McGinley on June 24, 1995, and together they shared 30 years of marriage.

Marty earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Northern Iowa, where he was a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. He went on to earn his MBA from Rockhurst University and a Master’s in Project Management from George Washington University. He dedicated his career to advancing the telecommunications industry, holding roles at Sprint, Palm, HTC, Arm and most recently serving as Director of Business Development at Wi-Fi Alliance.

Marty was a devoted father who cherished time spent with his family, particularly enjoying boating and relaxing by the lake. He took great pride in providing a wonderful life for his sons and witnessing their growth and success. Along with his sons, his dog Carlie was a loyal companion who brought him plenty of joy, whether they were playing or snuggling on their favorite spot on the couch. Known for his quick witted sense of humor, Marty could always be counted on to bring laughter to any room. He loved to play fantasy football with family and friends, while keeping up with the Kansas City Chiefs. A true sports fan, Marty was also passionate about the Boston Red Sox and Boston Celtics.

In recent years, he and Jami split their time between Overland Park, Kansas, and Pittsboro, North Carolina. The family also made lasting memories over the years at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Marty is survived by his wife, Jami; his three sons, Brady (Lesly) McGinley of Carrollton, Texas, Logan McGinley of Olathe, Kansas, and Graham McGinley of Overland Park, Kansas; his mother, Arlene Smith; his sisters, Shelly (Mark) Pritzl and Tracy Mitchell.

Marty was not only a close friend, but in many ways like my son. Many many fond memories together in Overland Park and at the Lake of the Ozarks. I will forever remember him as a kind individual, full of humor, lover of sports, driven to be a great father and a successful business man. Marty set the gold standard for all men. I will miss him greatly!

All my prayers for the family and may you find solace and peace. Sincerely, Rodrigo Calvo

I have known Marty from the time I joined Wi-Fi Alliance which was about 3 years ago and have worked closely since then. I am still in shock and sad that I will no longer get to talk to him! He was great listener and considered suggestions with open mindedness. I could speak my mind without feeling judged. He was witty, kind and took stand when needed. He surely was proud of his family. I will miss Marty. Prayers for his soul. Om Shanti

Marty and I connected as friends at HTC, each fathers with three sons. We worked closely together at HTC, where I was North Americas CFO. Marty was a joy, super smart, always positive, and humble. He drove our major EVO 4G success, bringing together "three ugly ducklings" - Sprint, Best Buy, and HTC - and selling 6 million phones in 15 months! Jami, I am so sad for you and your sons. My prayers are with you and your family.
