My deeepest condolences to The Guess Family. Mr. Connie was an inspiration to me as a young Funeral Director with his kind smile and super attitude about life. The true mark of a great person is that they leave the world better than what they found it, Mr. Connie was that type of man. heaven just got a little happier place, God Bless, MJ-lockwood Funeral Home.

Mr. Connie Guess was the owner of Tomball Funeral in the old Tomball Hospital in the '80s, a native Houstonian. He would help anyone and he never met a stranger. He was tall, dark and handsome according to him. We pray that he is in heaven and it just got louder. He will be truly missed.

To the Guess family,
I want to join everyone in wishing Connie "Godspeed" on his new journey. In our shared time here(40+ years), he was a rock, a friend to the family, Godfather to my daughter(s),fun lovin',fishin' buddy (cough),funeral director, the list goes on and on. He was a one stop resource. For if anyone knew where to go or where to get it.....it was Connie. Better yet, in my family's time of need there was God and there was Connie. Without them "we never would have made it". In our hearts we pray that God will wrap his loving arms around this family and welcome him into the kingdom. As for me and my family, you guys know that we already miss him.

May The Lord bless and keep the entire Guess Family. Brother was such a loving person and would give you the shirt off of his back. He was so kind and good to all he met. Although he is now with The Lord, his legacy will survive through his sons. May God bless him. Sincerely, Betty

I am shocked & saddened to hear that my old buddy has passed away. I first met Connie while we were attending TSU. We had a class or two together and we had the best time in class. He was such a funny guy and we became fast friends. He is now home with our Father in Heaven. May the Peace of Christ be with you and the family as you go thru this tough time. God will take care of you.....all you have to do is just let him.

Margeret, Chris, and Nick, you all are in my prayers and my deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family.

No matter how tough life gets, if you can see the shore [of heaven] and draw your strength from Christ, you’ll make it.

Peter, I am sorry to here about the lost of your brother... God Bless you and Donna in you time of grief.

My most pleasant memory of Connie were the cremation remains that he'd travel with and having to sometmes sit in the same car with him and the "departed"; to which he'd reply, "just move them over and have a seat". I enjoyed is wittiness.

Connie was a very nice man and a just a wonderful person. Todd, God bless you... and your family.

Love you,

Yolanda Guess
