Thomas Guy Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 1, 2024.

Thomas Patrick Guy, Sr. died in his Green Valley home, surrounded by his family, on Monday, Jan. 1, after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 75 years old.

Tom was a witty, talented, adventurous and devoted husband, partner, father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend to many. He was very active in the musical community in Green Valley, where his talent will be greatly missed. He loved performing and bringing people joy with his amazing guitar skills and beautiful voice. He was a passionate scuba diver, having completed over 1,000 dives in the last 25 years. He also loved fishing, sailing, tennis, pickleball and riding his motorcycle.

He is preceded in death by his wife, Sally Y. Guy. He is survived by his partner Jeni; daughter Jane (Jassen); son Tom Jr.; daughter Erin (Jeff); grandchildren Spencer (Kalyn), Leah (Taylor), Zoe, Garrett, and Kendall; great-grandchildren Gabriel and Denver; and brothers Denny and Tim.

A celebration of life is planned for March 17 at 3 p.m. at Lutheran Church of the Risen Savior, 555 S. La Canada Drive, Green Valley 85614. Dress is casual and guests are encouraged to wear green to celebrate Tom's Irish heritage on what would have been his 76th birthday.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research.
