Guy Colton Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Premier Funeral Services - Salt Lake City on Dec. 9, 2024.
Guy Edwin Colton was a husband, a father, an ad man, a redhead, and an all around cool guy. He was born on July 21, 1953 to Doris Colton and Boyd Colton. After growing up in Pasco, Washington, Guy served a mission for his church in Italy, became the first person in his family to graduate from college, and married the love of his life, Sharon Keeley. He then started a career in advertising as a legitimate "Mad Man" in New York City. Guy and Sharon had three (very good looking) children, who they adventured with across the country to pursue Guy's work. Guy recently retired and loved cooking, spending time in his garden and making salsa for his neighbors. He will be remembered for his "Ernie" giggle, his unending charisma, his signature red mustache, and his love. He is survived and will be sorely missed by his wife Sharon, his children Chad, Tyler, and Ashley, his brother Blaine, and a small army of grandchildren.
