Mr. Guy was a positive and important influence in my life at the age of 14. As a young man, I was moved in our meeting by his uniform and stature. Here was a black military officer, the first I have ever met and he was my friend’s dad. Mr. Guy displayed possibility’s beyond my imagination.

Sending condolences to the family.

We were so sorry to hear of Mr. Guy’s death. We praying that the love of Jesus will surround and strengthen you.

Words cannot express the depth of our sadness. We love your parents as if they were our own. We will cherish all the memories. Your father will forever be in our hearts. May God's love and grace comfort you.
