Dennis Guyot, born on May 11, 1948, in Panama, took his final bow on August 13, 2025, in Toano, Virginia, at the ripe age of 77. Dennis was a man who lived life with gusto and left a legacy that can only be described as legendary.

From serving as a Vietnam Veteran to venturing into veterinary medicine and eventually running his own veterinary equipment company, Dennis was a man of many talents and careers. He had an eye for detail and a knack for knowing exactly what people-or pets-needed.

Dennis was a connoisseur of the finer things in life, whether it was zipping around in a fancy car or indulging in a delicious meal. His sense of humor was noteworthy, often teetering on the edge of smart-aleck territory, but always delivered with a twinkle in his eye. He had an uncanny ability to know when someone needed a hug and gave the best ones around.

His yard was his pride and joy, a testament to his dedication to beauty and order. When he wasn't tending to his garden, Dennis could be found jetting off to St. Maarten with his beloved wife, Donna. It was their special place, filled with sun, sand, and shared memories.

Dennis leaves behind his loving wife, Donna Murphy, his daughter Kathryn Guyot, and his grandson William Chapman, who will undoubtedly carry on his legacy of wit, charm, and impeccable taste.

In Dennis's world, life was a grand adventure, best enjoyed with laughter, love, and perhaps a little bit of mischief. He will be missed but never forgotten, as his stories and spirit live on in those who knew and loved him.

Per Dennis' request no public services will be held but instead to remember him fondly in the things he loved in life.
