Guy graduated from Live Oak High School and subsequently earned an AA in High Velocity Air Conditioning (HVAC). He spent 40 years in the HVAC industry with many years as a Service Manager. During his tenure, he developed many effective innovative procedures and practices. He was influential in the lives of many young people at the beginning of their careers. He would see potential in them they did not recognize themselves and mentor them to be their best self and aspire to greater success. He had two children, Jason Booten and Kayleigh Booten and lived in the Morgan Hill area most of his life. He married Mary Jo Grant in 2016 and after retirement moved to Grass Valley. Guy enjoyed the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. He loved his two yellow labs and enjoyed watching the deer that came into his GV yard. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends. He was respected by his collleagues and dearly loved by his family. He was a kind and caring man that took care of others before himself because he had such a big heart for everyone. Guy leaves his wife, Mary Jo, son Jason, mother Renetta Hayes and step-father Carroll Hayes of Jamestown. His loving presence will be greatly missed in the lives of sisters Terrie Booten and Lynn Booten; his niece Callie Camper and nephew Nick Camper as well as many dear cousins, step siblings and friends.
