He is survived by his mother, Arden French; six of his siblings; his daughter, Cassidy Seip, and her husband, Elas Seip, of Maine; his daughter, Amanda French, and her partner, Patrick Ward; and his cherished granddaughter of Connecticut, who brought immense joy to his life. He also leaves behind extended family members many lifelong friends who will miss his humor, generosity, and unforgettable presence. Guy will be remembered for his big heart, his loyalty to the people he loved, and his ability to make any gathering feel like home. His memory will live on in the stories shared around grills, in football Sundays, and in the hearts of everyone lucky enough to know him.
