In accordance with their usual morning goodbye routine, Jim McConaughey and his wife Mary Kathleen “KMac” were in the midst of lovemaking when a fatal heart attack hit. The incident is described in her book, “I Amaze Myself!”, published in 2008. Attending EMS and personnel got a surprise when they arrived at the house, as Kay insisted Jim be taken out of the house completely naked in order to well, ‘share his gift with the world.’
Jim and KMac McConaughey married each other three separate times, after divorcing one another two times. Their son Matthew was conceived soon after the third round of matrimony and was unexpected but most certainly welcomed! Previous children of the couple are Michael and Patrick. There is a 16 year difference between eldest son Michael and Matthew, the youngest.
