Dennis Guyon Obituary

Guyon, Dennis Stephen
RENSSELAER - Dennis Stephen Guyon, 68, passed away on June 13, 2024, while visiting family in Monroe, Mich. He was born on August 3, 1955, in Albany, N.Y., to the late Stanley and Julie Guyon.
A resident of East Greenbush, N.Y., Dennis was a devoted husband to Lorraine Tremont Guyon, a proud father to Jessica (Aaron) Dougherty and Christopher Guyon, and a cherished Grampy to Henry and Cora Dougherty. He is also survived by his brother, Gary (Jean) Guyon; his brother-in-law David (Deb) Tremont; his nieces and nephews, Ashley (Brandon) Ballou, Michael (Morgan) Tremont, Stephanie King (Daniel F. Noriega), Daniel Tremont (Sarah Flexon); grand dogs Cookie Monster and Taylor; and a modest fleet of self-taught and expertly played instruments. He was happily enjoying retirement from his position as a Senior Communications Specialist with The Lighting Research Center at RPI.
Dennis had many passions, including the Beatles, classic cars, photography, engaging in charity and volunteer work, creating art and music with his friends and using his mechanical gifts to fix whatever was broken. He enjoyed baseball, especially when the Yankees won, as well as bowling and golf. He could be easily recognized as an integral, mustachioed member of the Church of St. Vincent de Paul music ministry in Albany, where he and his wife made music together for over 40 years. He took pride in his culinary skills, particularly in making overly complicated charcuterie presentations for holiday get-togethers. His favorite thing, however, was to eat the bits of crusty burned sauce around a pan of chicken parm. Dennis was known for his dedication to his children's theatrical pursuits, often building sets, props, or running a soundboard.
A celebration of Dennis' life and a Memorial Mass will be announced at a future date. Contributions can be made to https://www.guitarsintheclassroom.org/ in memory of Dennis. To leave a message for the family please visit www.McVeighFuneralHome.com

I am so sorry to see this obit Lorraine. As the great philosophers, John and Paul, remind us, "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." Dennis took a lot with him. My heart hurts for you and your family.

I'm so very sorry to read about Dennis' passing. As Gary may remember, Stan and Julie stood up for my parents when they were married and your family always had a special place in the hearts of my family. May he rest in peace and his memory give you comfort.
