We have all been touched by the life of Leroy Guyett, husband, father, grandfather and friend. His life was an example of prayer as he earnestly prayed for his family, friends and neighbors everyday.

He loved tennis, oil painting, fishing and telling a good joke. Most of all, he loved his Savior and left a legacy of this love through his writings. His one true passion was to share Christ with others; being a minister, he had ample opportunities to do this. We will remember his wit and love that he gave to each of us. We love and miss you, grandpa!
