Guy, was one most honest, great men, I have ever known. He loved Livestock, such a hard worker. Drinking Dr. Pepper out of a paper bag, and warm water during the day. Driving around in the Toyota pickup with shovel. He took care of Flying U Ranches, with great pride. Those kind of fine gentlemen are few. RIP Guy

Spent a lot of time at church in Olivehurst with Mamo and Pa.
Guy was my Grandpa’s right hand man at the church for several years.
He was a very hard worker and was also Cotton Rossers, Flying U Rodeo’s right hand man also.
He will be missed and loved by many!

Guy (pops) was such a wonderful blessing to us here at Ozark Health. I had the pleasure of not only caring for him since he was admitted but also his sweet wife. He brought so much joy to my life and he is going to be missed beyond measure. My prayers go out to all the family and friends for the loss of one so great. Thank you for allowing us to care for him all these years. It was my pleasure.
