Guy Banks III

  • By 7031791897
  • 22 Nov, 2018
Sunrise: April 3, 1999          Sunset: November 3, 2018
Parents Nina Davie & Guy Lee Banks Jr. were completely overjoyed when their first child Guy Lee Banks III was born on April 3, 1993 at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was the sweetest and cutest little boy. He loved to play with his toys, and especially his cars! he never traveled anywhere without at least without at least one Hot Wheel. He could play "cars" for hours alone or with company. When he was just an infant he was affectionately given the nick name "Guy Guy" by his cousin which his family and close friends call him to this day. Anyone who knew Guy Guy would say how polite,  well mannered, and quiet he was. One of his proudest life experiences was definitely being a GREAT big brother and having a loving relationship with his younger siblings: Jalon, Ayi, Keion, Rylie, Gianna, and Kiyori. He spoiled his sisters so much that he wouldn't allow Rylie to go upstairs without him carrying her although she could walk on her own. He would tuck her in at night, attend all of her extra curricular activities and help his parents with keeping all of them safe and happy. Although he and his brother Jalon fought occasionally, they always threw in the towel to spend countless hours playing video games together. Guy loved to listen to music too.

Guy Guy loved sports, during his childhood he participated in many extra curricular activities such as baseball and football. He enjoyed playing basketball with his Dad, uncles, cousins, and friends. His favorite sports teams were the Green Bay packers and the LA Lakers. He loved to watch the Green Bay Packers while playing dominoes at his aunt Angie's home with her and his uncle as they are also big fans. Since a young boy he aspired to play baseball and was looking to participate in a local team before his demise. Guy Guy always fought hard to do well in Elementary School, Junior High and High School was no different. He graduated from Desert Pines High School in the Spring of 2018. He spoke of how happy he was that his family from both sides were there to celebrate him during his graduation. He worked hard to become independent and he loved kids so he gained employment at the Boys & Girls Club during and after graduating high school, before taking on two jobs at UPS and Republic Services that he was employed at the time of his demise. His demeanor was so respected that he was even given the nickname "Uncle Guy" by the barbershop whenever he went to Leemah to keep his "fade fresh". They said he had such an old soul. He was studying for the ASVAB to join the Air Force and was an active participant in the voting process as he voted early last week. 

Anyone who knew or met Guy Guy would surely tell you these same words: "he was always a happy person, his smile was contagious, and little shy, considerate and kind" - almost to a fault. Naturally, he made friends and had the same group of friends since childhood. He loved hanging out with his aunts, uncles and cousins. 

His aunt laughed about how he was so excited to have a car, that he popped up with two of his closest friends to hang out with his "TT Toya and Uncle Rick". She bragged about how happy she was to hang out with them and how special she felt that the boys enjoyed their company (or the food), so much that they were pushing back the time to hang out with their girlfriends that day. Since a baby, napping was his favorite past time. He would nap whenever he could even while riding from one end of town to the next!

Guy Guy was 19 at the age of his passing.
