Michael Warren Guess

Good memories of a kind human being. Blessings to the family.

We miss you Mike.

Just learned about the passing of Mr. Guess. He was a constant inspiration for me to further my education. I was trying to track him down so he could see the man and father I had become. Sorry for your lost

I continue to be grateful to have met you and your family. We miss you.

I was thrown back when I spoke to my cousin brenda calling to see how things were going because it had been sometime since I had spoke to them and to hear that Mike had passed. I was truly hurt when brenda had to share this devastating news to me.mike and my brother ELDRIDGE and i enjoyed each other growing up and when ever we came home to visit he was always there to see us. May the good lord keep blessing and giving brenda strength AMEN

Oh, Brenda...I was very saddened to hear about Michael's passing, as we had spoken only a few days prior. Life can be so uncertain. I have very fond memories of our working together in the office many years ago, and although Michael didn't "officially" work there, he always made his presence know, looking out for his favorite lady. Brenda, I'm sending you wrap-a-round warm hugs and lots of soft kisses , but most of all plenty of love ❤ ❤❤❤ and prayers . LOVE...ALWAYS.

Dear Brenda, my deepest sympathy and regards to you and your family. I was a neighbor and friend of Mike's for many years, I am also a McKinley High School graduate I remember Michael as a kind and Mannerly young man even through his adult years. whenever I would see him you were not far. So be as strong as you can be, but also know that grief is REAL and everyone has their own way of dealing with the Loss of a True Love one. Again our hearts go out to you at this time. Dennis E. & Donna Lee

I ask our Heavenly Father to give you peace as you go through your grief.
May the love of friends and family comfort you.

Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal an inspiring gentleman always sharing his knowledge, rest well my Brother I know God is saying servant well done

Brenda,
Wishing you strength and peace during this hard time. Micheal, was a phenomenal guy.

I met Mike through Brenda because she and I pledged Delta together and became real forever sisters.
Brenda was so excited about meeting this Special young man and when they became engaged I had to be there to see them exchange their vows. So I returned from California just to be with them and share their exciting new future- together.
I have continued to watch and see how much their ❤ LOVE grew over the years.
We have remained friends thru life’s ups and downs but the two of them remained stead fast and in Love.
We have visited with each other whether in Louisiana or in California and always had lots of fun.
It has been beautiful to see them together almost reading each other’s mind “with just a look”.
We are all Born under the sign of Gemini and have enjoyed teasing each other, sharing fabulous meals and friends.
Mike will be missed because he always went out of his way to needle me because he knew that I would return the favor. But when int came down to the line- he had my back.
I am going to miss Mike as a forever friend who Truly loved my Best Friend with all of his heart.
Rest in Paradise, My Friend

Mr. Guess always had a way of bringing a smile to everyone! He will be truly missed!

BRENDA and Family, May GOD bring you comfort during this period and always.

PRAYER FOR GRIEVING FAMILIES and FRIENDS:

FATHER, thank YOU for another day. We know not what this day will bring but we know that YOU are in charge. FATHER, we know that as sure as we live we must die. Help us to live guided by YOUR word, prepare us for our date and ease the pain of our transition. YOU have all power in YOUR hands and we plead for YOUR grace and mercy. FATHER, give grace and mercy to bereaved families and friends. Heal the hurt in their hearts. Give them the strength to persevere and be their comfort in their hours of need. Turn them to YOUR light so that they may know that YOU will never leave them. Help them to live firmly planted in YOUR word. YOU are our light and salvation and we thank YOU in all things. All praise belongs to YOU. HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, praise YOUR holy name. In the mighty name of JESUS, Amen.

Sorry for your loss. My prayers are with the family.

Mr. Guess was a wonderful Man. He was instrumental in all that he did in shaping my son's life while at Buchanan. He also did such a great job with the other children at Buchanan Elementary school. Heaven has definitely gained himself a great person. I guess the Good Man upstairs know that though!!! Praying for strength for Mrs. Guess and the rest of the family.

To Brenda and Family. I was in total shock when told that Michael had passed. Brought back so many memories and the last time I saw him at Ray J’s. I will indeed miss our conversations. I pray that God will continue to strengthen and bless you.

i am heartsick to learn of Mr. Guess's death. This wonderful man allowed my team and me to "invade" his library many times at Buchanan Elementary School in order to set up for the yearly Teacher Appreciation luncheon sponsored by First Presbyterian Church. Michael graciously helped with the set-up. Working alongside each other, we talked about our lives and became friends. He will be missed by all of us at First Pres who had the pleasure and blessing of knowing this fine gentleman.

May the warmth of God's and his peace comfort you during this time.

To The Guess Family:
I too was a neighbor to Michael, in Alice Street. We lived across the street from each other. I graduated from McKinley in ‘67 but Michael was thoughtful enough to ask me to his prom, which I had the privilege of accepting. We would talk a lot until sunset when our grandparents called us in. God has called a gentle giant home. Rest In Peace dear friend. Linda King Sylvester (The Wright’s granddaughter)

So sorry to hear that you've lost Michael, Brenda. I know that he will be missed and hope that you can hold on to the memory of his deep love for you for comfort!

Our deepest sympathies Brenda, to you and your family. May God give you strength to endure during this time.

My Dear Soror

I am very sad to learn about Mike's passing. I worked with Mike for a number of years at the EBR Parish Library and can say that Mike was a great guy, a good friend and co-worker. He was always upbeat and had interesting stories to relate. He was a very positive and friendly man and he will be missed. My prayers go out to all his family and friends.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Praying for the Family

Mike will truly be missed. He was such a sport. I often wondered how he knew so much about so many things and to learn he had a degree in Library Science was amazing! I can remember being one of the flower girls in the wedding, and can remember him loving those Jaguars! I will continue to pray for your strength and comfort. Sending love and hugs your way.

Brenda,
Although we have no control over life’s downpour...find comfort in all who join you for walks in the rain.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Mike was a kind, gregarious person who treated a new patron as a soon-to-be friend. The Eden Park library was his baby and treated it with the same love and pride that a true father would. He exhibited a rare diligence and dedication that few would rarely measure up to as a person and librarian. Frequently, you could see him at the library seven days a week going above and beyond his responsibilities into making the Eden Park library into a success and an asset to the community. He truly worked to the best of his ability and displaying a synergy which improved the library and the area surrounding the library. To the very least, he will be sorely missed by anyone who was fortunate enough to have them in their lives.

Mike, you won't be forgotten.

Mr. Mike was the library manager who gave me my first real job, the job I still have. I learned a lot from working with him and I always thought he was a good, generous man. His way with patrons was a rare gift and we miss it even today.

Brenda,
Sending my condolences to you & family. Praying that God will give you strength & peace. Hold on to the precious memories .
Mardi Gras Ball 2020 ~ Purple Circle, you & Mike danced the night away. So beautiful

My heart is with you in your time of sorrow. Today and always, may loving memories bring you peace, comfort and strength.

May the Lord continue to bless and comfort the Guess family. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Brenda,
I'm so terribly sorry for you loss. May you find comfort in prayer and the knowledge that God is with you. I know you are a very strong woman and I ask God to help you through this very difficult time now and in the days ahead.

We are sending loving thoughts to you Brenda. Mike is a treasured gift. God has given us precious memories to hold in our hearts. Such a character. There have many encounters that left us laughing and encouraged. Love remains.

Deepest condolences and prayers to you Brenda and the Guess Family

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Brenda, I don't think we have ever met, I was Michael's neighbor on Alice Street over 40 years ago. My husband and I would run into Michael often and he always spoke highly of you. We are praying for you and the family❤

Mr.Guess is a dear friend and co-worker of mine. Our families have known each other for decades.He is one of the coolest people I know. We would talk about S.U. football and tailgating ALL the time.

I miss Mr.Guess already..It just ain't the same around here anymore.My condolences go to Mrs.Brenda Guess,he loves you soooooo much,you're all he talks about.

This was such a shock. He is truly going to be missed. He was such a nice guy..... all the time. Brenda you are definitely in my prayers.

Brenda and Family,
My condolences. May God's consolation and grace be yours. There is little one can truly say to ease your grief and pain but remember to be true and strong in your faith. God has promised He will take care of you!
Death has crept in and left a void that only God can fill. Focus on the wonderful memories, big smiles and wittiness of Mike when times get foggy and you miss him dearly. In due time rainbows will appear after this storm.
