Dean Jarrett Guy Obituary

On Wednesday, December 1, 2021 our precious son, Dean Jarrett Guy went home to be with the Lord at the age of 15. Dean was born in Elizabethton, the second and last born son of Jack and Samantha (Braswell) Guy. There, in Heaven to meet this precious boy were his Pa Wes and his Mammie Willis Guy; his maternal great grandparents, Robert Blunt Clawson and Ethel Clawson; his maternal grandfather, Julian Braswell; his paternal great grandparents, Troy and Margie (Marvie) Guy; and his beautiful aunt, Cathy “Cat” Guy.Dean was a kind, generous and beautiful soul, although he was quiet he was also eager to help anyone that needed a laugh, a hug or a smile- he was there. He loved his family and cherished his time with them, there will be a void within us all because he was so loved by his family. Dean loved playing with his dog, “Rusty” and taking care of the other animals, both adopted and strays that he found, he wanted to show them the love they needed to be happy. Most of all, Dean loved his Mom and giving her hugs, he loved his Dad and spending time with him outside just tinkering around. His sisters and his brother were very special to him and he loved them and their time together. Dean was an exceptional young man and achieved a lot in his life both academically because he was so intelligent and at home where he loved to be of help.
