Guy Gilson Obituary

Guy Richard Gilson, age 70, passed peacefully on January 12, 2020 in his Broomfield, CO home. He was born in Downey, California on June 9, 1949 to Leonard and Joyce Gilson. Guy loved "his" mountains. He was a skier, hiker, biker and enjoyed volunteering for Wildlands Restoration. He was passionate about tennis and was captain of his Rocky Mountain Tennis Center team. He loved and was well loved by his many friends. Guy was cherished for 25 years by his wife and soul mate, Mary Kay Gilson. He was a great doggy daddy to his little JLo dog. In addition to his wife, Guy is survived by his parents and his brother, Trevor Gilson. A Celebration of Guy's Life will be held on May 16, 2020, at the Aspen Lodge in Anthem Ranch, Broomfield, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. For more details about his celebration, join or follow his Caringbridge.org community site. Please post pictures, tributes and anecdotes to Guy's Facebook page. Guy bravely fought a very aggressive multiple myeloma cancer for 15 months. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation.

Dearest Mary Kay,
I´m not sure if you remember me, but I´m Jack Bransom´s wife. He was good friends with Guy, and we hung out with you guys on a business trip to San Francisco, many years ago. We even spent an afternoon touring Alcatraz. I just saw Guys obituary, and was so sad to see he´d passed. My sweetheart also passed, from lung cancer, back in 2017. It´s been a horribly sad journey, one I´m still struggling with. I´m happy to see you are with someone special again, and finding joy in life. I just wanted to reach out and express my condolences for your loss of Guy. He was a very special person and I truly enjoyed getting to know him a bit. He was one of Jack´s favorite people. I wish you all the best in your new journey. God bless, Wendy
