Mr. Guy was born July 10, 1939, and graduated from Tuscaloosa High School in 1957. He was a mechanic by trade and established and ran Bama Truck Service for 25 years. He finished his work career at Howell Lumber Company, a place he truly loved. He met the love of his life, Mollie Faye Dyer, at age 14, in church. Together they raised a large and loving family, and he was his happiest when they were all together. Family game night was a night he and Mollie looked forward to. He raised his family in the Holt community and was a loyal supporter of all Holt athletic programs and a proud member of the “Holt chain gang”. He said he enjoyed seeing the action up close! He and Mollie never missed a game in which their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren played. So many great memories were made at the ballpark. As a young man, Mr. Guy loved hunting and fishing but later enjoyed golfing with his sons and friends. He never met a stranger and would gladly help anyone with anything. He was called “Uncle Duke” by all of his nieces and nephews whom he also loved with all his heart. Following this pattern, the great grands called him “Granddaddy Duke”. If you were lucky enough to have known him, your life was enriched by it. He was simply the BEST! He made the most important decision to accept Jesus at an early age and was a loyal and dedicated Christian his entire life. He was the perfect example for anyone to pattern their life by. He was loved by all and will be greatly missed until we are all reunited in Heaven.
