Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 4, 2025.
John Edward Guy, age 75, passed unexpectedly on Monday, February 3, surrounded by his loving family at IU Ball Memorial Hospital. John was born November 15, 1949, son of the late Fred and Dorothy Guy.

John graduated from Muncie Central High School in 1968. He was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army in 1975, and retired from Borg Warner after 35 years of service.

After retirement, John enjoyed fishing, boating and spending time with his family and friends. He is survived by his 20-year companion, Billi Jo Keister; three sons, John E. Guy, Jr. (wife, Candi); William "Bill" Guy; and Jason Guy (wife, Kaylie). Seven grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Jennifer; sister (Nora McGriff), and brother (Paul Guy).

In keeping with John's request, there will be no services and a celebration of life will be conducted at a later date. Cremated remains will be interred at the Veteran's Memorial Park in Marion, Indiana. John will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
