Larry I. Guyton Obituary

Mommy is having a hard time with your death. It's been 16 years since you went home to be with the Lord, and my heart still aches like it was yesterday. I just go through the emotions like everything is okay. Your death took a toll on me and I don't know how to cope with losing you. I love you and I miss you like crazy. You will always be missed, but never, never forgotten. Until we meet again.

Hey brother, this day is ingrained in my mind till the day I die. I wish many things could have been different. Much love bro, I got to visit you and your grave looks great people have really been taking of it.

You take care bro
talk to you again.

Your Friend and Brother, SSG Moreno

Happy Memorial Day Bro! Miss you like crazy :( but I know the Lord needed you more! Your sacrifice is appreciated! Love from your lil sister

Remembering your service and sacrifice to our nation this Memorial Day.

Gone, but not forgotten...

Hey bro, I'm just sitting out here in my front yard thinking about all you guys. Y'all are always on my mind. Well bro, I'll talk to you again.

Y'all will never be forgotten bro.

Your Friend, SSG Moreno

Miss u dearly Wish u were still here with us, but I know God had something else for you in heaven. I know u are up there listening to cooling water and zydecoing all around. I love you big brother

May 05, 2017
On May 4, 2007 you were severely injured by an IED explosion in Iraq. At 6:57am on this day, May 5, 2007 we received the dreadful words, that you did not survive your injuries. Days, months, and exactly 10 years have gone by, but you have not been forgotten. You gave the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq, Cuz! My heart remains heavy with precious memories, such as having the opportunity of baptizing you when you were much younger and remembering your smile.

It's been 10 years since God call you home to fight in his army. It seems like it was just yesterday, that I received that phone call, that change my life for ever. I miss you like crazy and my heart still aches in pain for you constantly. I know that everybody says it get easy, but it don't. I have learned how to adapt and move on. As a mother, I can't tell you how proud I am to be your mother. I love you.
Love,

Andrea McDonald

We will always remember.

Hey bro passing thru here to tell you that I still miss you and even tho it been 8 years you still in my mind like it happen es la yesterday. Continúe to watch over us from above . One day we will all see each other again. Love you brother

Hello my son. Its been eight years since I got that phone called on May 4,2007; telling me that you were hurt in Iraq, by an IED Bomb. Then to get another called at 6:57 am on May 5,2007; to tell me that you didn't make it sucked the life out of me. It's been a long journey for me to deal with your death, that I have literally made myself sick physically, mentally, and emotionally. I wished that you would have gave me the chance to tell you goodbye and that I love you one more time before God took you to be with him. I know that you are in a better place, but I missed you so much that it hurts to breathe. I go to your grave every waking moment that I get, just to be close to you. And when I leave, it's like my heart just stop beating. As long as I have breath in my body, you will always be remembered and never forgotten. I am so honored that I had the chance to be your mother. I love you my son.

Guyton,
Hey brother it has been a long time, I think about you often. I still question the good lord why he would take a guy like you from this earth. Over the last eight years I have continued the attempt to avenge your death, however I was meant with failure at every corner. Alimentally this search would land myself in Germany fighting with the nurses of the ICU unit to let me out. I was lost brother and part of me still is, I don't even bother with friends because I scared they will be ripped from me....Anyways enough with soft stuff (like those 8oz coronas). Well brother I'm doing this college thing, I'm half way done with my bachelors. I was tasked to tell a story, yes I know very veg. I'm going to tell your story, I'm going to let all these hippie, tress loving college kids know why they are free! You among a small group of people I hold dear to my heart. I love you brother....SMOKE( thanks for the help with the nickname)!!
Psalms 133:1
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in unity!(Take care of all the other warriors up there bro and save some room for me)

SGM Brosch, wish I would have known you were visiting our Brother!! I live about 30 min away from Guyton, I visit him often!! I'm offshore Guyton but when I get back be visiting you brother!!! Miss ya buddy

Another year has gone by Cuz, but it's not a year you've been forgotten. The last time I was home in March of this year, like your dear Mom, I visited your gravesite along with Mom and Dads. I too, shed some tears on your behalf and took some photos of your gravesite. Miss you, but proud of the man you became. Thanks for looking out for us and grateful to God, you're looking down on us. R.I.P.....Cuz!

Hello My Son:

Wow, another year has come and I still miss you like it was May 4, 2007. It is still hard for me to wake up everyday and not see your face or hear your sweet voice. I went out to the grave site and just cried because I miss you so much. I promise you that you will never be forgotten. You will always be remembered and love until the day that the Lord calls me home. Thank you my son for your service to this country. You are a true soldier.
Love you,

Your Mother

It's been 6 six years since the man called you home. Six years that I've been living in denial. In denial because I never wanted to accept the fact that someone that was the same as me was gone. But because of you I finally joined, knowing that I had another angel watching over me. Two tours to Iraq and not a scratch... Thanks old man love you

Hi Larry,

The holidays is here once again and I'm not really in the mood to celebrate.It is so hard to celebrate any holidays because you're not here.This has been the hardest six years of my life and I don't know how to stop grieving for you. My grieving for you have consume my life for the last six years and I have a hard time coping with day to day situation. But, with all that said, I still love you and I'm so proud that God allowed me to be your mother. I love you and I wouldn't change nothing about being your mother. Merry Christmas my beautiful angel.

Love, your proud mother

I still remember the day we left for I raw from Ft. Hood. I believe your grandmother was there and she made me promise to keep you safe and bring you home. My deepest apologies for not being able to keep that promise. Not a day goes by that I do not think of that day. You are a true American Hero. I hope to visit your parents one day and grandmother. As a matter of fact, I PROMISE to do that. Rest in piece Larry.

I have such a heart time that sometimes I just want to break down and cry and other days I want to just give you a hug and tell you that I love you so much. But I know I can't do either one. My heart is heavy and I don't know if I will every be made whole again. I hope that you knew that I loved you , but most of all that I was proud to be your mother. You brought so much joy into my life. You will always be remember but never forgotten.
I love you and miss you.

Love your Mother,

In memory and honor of Larry on the 6th anniversary of his passing. We will always be indebted to him for his service and sacrifice.

PFC Guyton, Thank you very much for your service and sacrifice. My family and I prayed for you and your family today. We know that you are still standing your vigilant watch protecting our county while watching over your fellow troopers and for that we are forever grateful. Thank you Sir, job well done.

Saw your name on a memorial created for Fallen Heroes on Cutten Rd. Spring, TX. I wanted to say thank you for your sacrifice and God Bless you and your family.

Hey lil brother, I think about you all the time and I miss you so much. Everyday I wish things were different. Yannia is going to the 5 grade and I wish you where here to see to see all of your nieces and nephews.

It's been five long years since you went away to be with our Lord and Savior. I still feel the pain each and every day like it was May 4, 2007, when I got the called and they said that you have been injury. My heart still ache for you because you are solely missed from this family. We miss your smile, your laugh and your sense of humor. But most of all we miss you so much. I don't think that I will ever be the same and I have a hard time trying to live each and every day with out you. Mommy love you so much and I miss you like crazy, but overall I'm so proud of you. You will all ways be my HERO.

Larry-
I stopped by the Veterans Memorial Plaza in Brenham last weekend and saw your brick, as I do every year. I remember your mother being so strong receiving her Gold Star banner and think of your family. You are my hometown hero, as you gave your all for our country. God Bless and may you rest in peace and pride. -Melissa Gore

To all the soldiers that my son Pfc. Larry Guyton served with are came in contact with, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping his memories alive. You don't
know how much that means to us. We will keep our soldiers in prayer and hope for a safe speeded return home.
Once again thank you.
The proud mother of PFC Larry Guyton.

People always say that a teacher influences their students. As for me, I have to say it was the opposite. I taught Larry in high school. His zest for life and his smile will always be remembered. I remember when he came back to the school after graduation to show us that he had completed boot camp. He was so proud and I was extremely excited for him. Larry will always be remembered and his memory will live on with all the students that I teach. My prayers are with his family.

This message is for Larry and his family, my name is Anthony Lee Brown, I had the pleasure of knowing and serving with Larry. I met him back in 2005 in basic training, we later met up at our unit in Texas and deployed together in the same platoon. So his face being the only familiar one I knew, we became good friends. I have his name in a memorial tattoo on me along with the others from that day. He will forever be in my thoughts, along with his family and loved ones. And I will never forget the great memories I shared with him. May you rest in leave forever Larry.

Hi Larry

Your father is getting ready for another Annual Trailride in your honor, May 6th and 7th. The trailride in your honor was in Brenham but your father decided he wanted to move it to Caldwell in stead. I know God has you doing some important things for him so I'm not going to keep from that, but I felt the need to write you a few things words today. Before I go I want you to take a look at the picture/flyer I posted on your page about the trailride in your honor. I hope you like it. Next year it will look a lot different. Although I think I do a very good job of putting the flyers together. This year I'm working on some changes for the trailrides for your father. The trailride flyers next year will be professionally done..

Fallen but Never Forgotten

Too young to die, just beginning to understand and not here long enough to enjoy

RIP

I miss you bro,Sometimes i sit and wonder why did God have to take you out of all people. But i guess he knows whats best for you,I really miss you and hope oneday that i can join you in heaven as well. You have a beautful niece who was born sept.17,2010 i pray that you watch over her and guide her in the right direction..... love ur sis Erika! RIP

Good Morning Lil Larry, Son

I decided to write you this morning, because you know your father is not good at this typing thing. Saturday he's having his annual trailride and he wishes you were here. Britney and I were telling your Dad how much JJ looks like the two of you and KenKen took your moms color. When Jayden gets older we think he's going to look like your Father does now, tall and slim. I'm not going to keep you, because I'm sure that God has you on an important mission for him. Before I go I want to know if you will stop by the trailride this Saturday and watch over things or ride with your father in spirit.

I can still remember the day that I heard that you had left us. What a sad day, but I know that your legacy lives on and you will always be remembered as one of great students.

Who could believe that you been in heaven for three years. It seem like you just left yesterday. I think about you all the time. I miss you so much. It is hard getting up everyday and knowing that I will never see you are hear your voice. It take every fiber in my beam to get up and go on with everyday life chores. Some days are better than others. I know that you are with God and that you are watching over me. But its hard. I love you and I miss you a lot.
Love always,
your mother

Lil Larry, Son, so many miss you and I hate that I did not get the chance to know you like they did. I stop by a fellow service mans website in search of yours. I was thinking about the day you came to the house and I made sides to go with the barbecue your Dad made. I was honored that you ate the potatoe salad without complaining. We laughed because I forgot to put a key ingredient in it. Your father is not good at writing things so I’m doing it on his behalf. How do you like the Trailrides that your Father put on in your honor? Well before I go I want you to know that it’s been 3 years and your Father still ache to just touch you, talk with you or just see your face. You were a beautiful flower and God picked you, because you were ripe.

Fallen But Never Forgotten

I was looking for my brother's website who is also named Larry Guyton when I came across this web-site. I just want you to know that I have said a prayer for you and your family for your loss of your beloved Son. You and so many others have paid the ultimate sacrifice. May the Lord bless and keep you and put his loving arms around you. You and your family are in my prayers.

I often think about you and the sacrifice you and others have made. On this Memorial Day in 2009, I also look in the rearview mirror of life and recall the priviledge of baptizing you. You were lost on May 4,07, but you will never be forgotten. My heart is heavy as I write this, but it's greatful because you are in Heaven, looking down on us. I continue to pray for our entire family.
Thanks, again and we love you.

You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

Hey lil brother, i know it's been along time time since i wrote anything, but it's been really tuff with you not being here. I think about you everyday that passes and, Bryannia talks about you all the time. And now since Granny is with you keep her smiling; we miss both of you so much and we can't wait to be all together again.

Love Big Sis

My heart goes out everyday to anyone that has lost anyone. God makes no mistakes even when we may want to question why things are what they appear to be. God had a special plan and timing for you. Larry, you were known by a lot of people and I heard a lot of stories through trina and leon. I pray that your family becomes stronger in the Lord because this is only a test!

As a soldier from Brenham I did not know you Larry. You went to Iraq a year before I did. But I know what you are about. I feel the same way you did I'm sure. Nothing but gratitude and pure pride in what we were able to be a part of. Very few people have the ability and heart to do what you did and you have my undieing gratitude and respect. I know that you were looking after me. Your fellow Brenhamite while I was there and thank you will all my heart. As for you Mrs. Guyton, if I can quote Abe Lincoln "How proud you must be to have paid such a sacrifice upon the alter of freedom". Thank you fellow soldier and I will see you soon.

We love our Soldiers! We love our country and we cannot express enough love and compassion to the families. War does not discriminate – It breaks my heart to see the faces of the fallen. We want to give this gift to you. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization! Over 1,300 portraits have been completed and shipped to the parents and or spouse - at no cost as this is a gift from one American to another!

It's another Christmas without you again, and it is not the same. I miss you so much that my heart aches. Its like I can't get past the day that I got that call telling me that you were gone. I know that God do things for a reason, but I missed you.
I'm wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I taught Larry while he was a student at Bellville High School. I can still see Larry with his smiling face. I remembered the day he came up to the school after he finished book camp. I could tell that he grown from a student into a young man. I am so proud of what he achieved in his life. He will always be remembered. There is a memorial for him set up at the high school. I have since moved to Bellville Junior High. Larry, you will always be remembered.

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Pfc Guyton!

Happy Father Day Larry. You are soley missed. Its not a day or hour that I don't constantly think about you. I love you and I'm proud of the young man that you became.

The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”

I did not know Larry, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

You were always a good friend.

My name is Carol Lee Guyton. I am a distant relative. My heart goes out to the Guyton family of Texas for your loss. My father, Hyam F. Guyton (Uncle Diddle) served many years in the army during WWII and the Korean War. A soldier will live on forever in our hearts because they gave their life for others. God bless Larry for what he has given.

Today was Thanksgiving Day and I was a little sad that I could not hear your voice on this special day. I still sometime catch myself waiting for you to call me. Then it done on me that I want be hearing your voice anymore. My heart still ache for the beautiful son that I lost six months ago. I always promise that your death will not be in vain. I kept my promise that as long as the soldiers are in Iraq I will do my best to see that they know that they are not forgotten. I still send care packages like you were still in Iraq to the soldiers. I know God had a better plan for you but I wish I could have seen you one last time to tell you that your mother was very proud of you and that she loved you with all of her heart. You was a loving and kind person and I hope God know that to . Happy Thanksgiving PFC Larry I Guyton (KIA 5/5/07 Balad Iraq)

To honor you on Veteran's Day.
PFC Guyton, you will be missed forever here in Brenham. There are many who didn't know you, but did know the sacrifice you gave for us and your country. From an airman to a soldier, we will always be brothers and sisters in arms...God bless you and keep you.

I didn't know Larry Guyton, but I do know that any person who joins the United States Army to protect and defend our country, our freedoms, and that of others is a hero. I am a military wife myself, and I believed that anyone who gives their life for others should be honored. I pray for the members of fallen soldiers and am thankful that there are so many people willing to sacrifice for the rest of us.

I'd worked with Larry ever since he came to our platoon, about 1 1/2 years total. Larry, along with Mark, were two of my three roommates here in Iraq. It still hits me when I walk in the door expecting Larry to be singing into his microphone and PA. I want his family to know that our(punishers, 3rd plt) prayers are with you and that his memory will always be held closely in our hearts.

It's almost five months since I laid you to rest, and it feel like it was only yesterday. I think about you every hour,every minute, every second, every day that I am breathing. I miss you so much that it hurts. But in my heart I know that you are in a better place. I know that you knew that your mother love you so dearly and it wasn't anything in this world that I wouldn't do for you. I am very proud of you and I'm also proud to call you my son. You went in the service as a young man but came home as a man. I could not have been any prouder of you than I am now. I will always miss you and love you to the end of time. I love you.

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Pfc Guyton and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain, so I will not pretend that I know what to say or do that would bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

I would like to express my sincere condolenses to the family. I knew of Larry because I work with Pam and my nephew left to Iraq at the same time Larry did. My prayers are with you and your family.
