Growing up at Lake Mohawk, Guy made many friends who have remained part of his life. Guy was a graduate of the 1957 class of Newton High School. He planted firm roots in central Louisiana after serving in the Air Force at England Air Force Base. His circle of friends continued to grow throughout his life, and his family is very grateful for the ongoing support.

He was a successful Realtor who was well known in the community for being fair and honest to every customer. Guy always enjoyed working on old cars, boats, bikes and anything else he could build or fix.

We will miss him.

He was preceded in death by his son, Guy III, and parents, Guy W. Gawthrop Sr. and Florence J. Coates Gawthrop. Those left to cherish his memory include his wife of 40 years, Kathy Kearns Gawthrop; son, Jody Kauderer (Tina), of New Philadelphia, Ohio; daughters, Sondra Thornhill (Matt), of Baton Rouge, La., Tracy Nalezinek (Randy), of Sulphur, La., and Kristy Scott (Curry), of Delcambre, La.; sisters, Bette Hubbard (Scotty), of Dunnellon, Fla., and Ann Landry, of Englewood, Fla.; five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Memorial services will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 30, in the Chapel of Hixson Brothers, Pineville, La., with the Rev. Steve Brandow officiating. The family requests that visitation be observed Saturday, Sept. 30, at Hixson Brothers, Pineville, La., from 11 a.m. until the time of service.

We will miss our dear friend, Guy. He always would light up our day when he dropped by for a visit and a glass of ice water. Guy always made us laugh with his funny stories and we enjoyed our trips with him and Kathy. We love you, Guy, and we will miss you terribly. Kathy, you are in our hearts and prayers and we love you.

We have lost a great man, but he is in a better place. I will miss our regular visits on Susek Dr on Saturday mornings when he would stop by and we would discuss the world problems. LOL.

What a great guy! Really treasured our friendship and professional relationship. If there was a central Louisiana Real Estate Hall of Fame - Guy Gawthrop would be a most prominent member!

Just learned of Guys passing. So sorry to hear this news. Peggy and I will have you and family in our prayers. Guy was a one of a kind, great guy and will be missed by many. Although we dont see each other often anymore I think of you both every time I pass your street. Take care of yourself as you go through the grieving that I know you will be dealing with. Shannon is getting married Saturday and we will probably not be able to attend the service but I hope to see you soon.
