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.
