Guy Pasela passed away on December 3, 2025 in Mesa, Arizona in the care of his beloved wife, Marian.
Born August 14, 1948, he spent his childhood moving with his military family, eventually settling in Hayward, California. After high school he went to college at the University of California in Davis. He was a brilliant student, sometimes surpassing his Professors.
While taking graduate classes, he worked full time for the National Council on Crime and Delinquency. His expertise in both statistical analysis and computer software lead him to a career in designing applications for government agencies and businesses. His intellect and interpersonal skills quickly found him leading projects for clients all over the world. With his closest colleagues, he formed his own company, so successful that it was bought out by a major corporation.
Guy enjoyed the college town environment of Davis, living there for over 40 years, before moving to the little mountain town of Dunsmuir, California, where he and Marian enjoyed fly fishing just a few feet from their house. Guy also became a master landscape artist using his treasured 1959 Massey Ferguson to beautify their six acres into several different gardens.
In 2003, Guy and Marian bought a 1984 Airstream motor home. They restored and customized it, and over the years traveled all over the country and to Canada and Mexico, often with their good friends, Carol Parsons, Dick Keiser, and David and Jan Rudisill. The Airstream was an attraction wherever they went, especially when accompanied by their beloved French Mastiffs, Luc and Jacques.
Guy will be remembered for his superior intellect and unparalleled management skills.
But much more than that he will be remembered for his goodness. Those who worked with him knew that he could be counted on to be straightforward and honest. His friends, both inside and outside work, knew his kindness. He was so perceptive and considerate of the feelings of others that he engendered their trust. He was not simply a kind person; as one friend said years ago, "Guy has no guile."
He is survived by his wife, Marian, his cousin Penny Pridemore, and many friends who loved him.
A celebration of life will be held on Sunday January 25, 2026 in the Kachina Room from 2-4pm at the Towerpoint RV Resort in Mesa AZ
