Marcus McGhee passed away on Sunday, June 21, 2026, after an unexpected cardiac arrest at work and hospitalization that began Monday, June 15, 2026.
Marcus grew up in Riverside, California, with mother Charlee and sister Raelyn, and friends remembered a life shaped by music, education, movement, travel, and community.
At UCSD, Marcus earned three bachelor’s degrees in foreign language, dance, and engineering, then later taught English abroad in Japan, China, and Korea.
Marcus later returned to the United States, joined IBEW, became a journeyman, and served as curriculum coordinator for the union, where colleagues valued Marcus’s care for students.
A fundraiser organized by Aisling Harbert-Phillips had raised $2,270 toward a $15,000 goal through 11 donations to help the family with final expenses, rent, travel, and service costs.
Memorial service details and funeral information will be announced later by family members.
