Rick Guinard, 67, died Monday, Sept. 1, 2025, at his home in Burlington. Born Aug. 6, 1958, in Iowa City, he was the son of Ivan and Francis Guthrie Guinard Sr. He married Sara Perrine and later divorced.
Rick was an incredibly hard worker. He worked for over twenty years with S and G Construction as a concrete finisher before working a further five years with Case Corporation. Rick went on to work several years with his sons at All American Construction doing carpentry work.
Family and friends were important to him. Rick enjoyed motorcycles, watching NASCAR, fishing, and listening to country music. He was a good mechanic and worked on his car and truck to keep them running well. Rick's grit, determination and personality will be missed, but his memory will continue on through his family and friends.
Survivors include his sons, Rick (Alyssa) Guinard of Cape Coral, Travis (Sylvia) Guinard of Burlington, and Chad Guinard of Burlington; siblings, Ivan Guinard, Jeff Guinard, Tina Meir, Rose Guinard, Christina (Michael) Hazelwood and Tammy Guinard; eight grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
Sadly, Rick is preceded in death by his brother, Randy Guinard, and his parents, Ivan and Francis.
Cremation has been entrusted to the care of Prugh Crematory. A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date and service details will be published when they become available.
Please continue to keep Rick's family in your thoughts during this difficult time.
