I met Guy through Janel 24 years ago and we have met again once or twice again after that.  However, he seems more like an old friend than a stranger because Janel never stop talking about her brother.  She is very fond of him.  My deepest condolences to the entire Birrenkott family and may the higher powers give them the strength to get through this difficult time.

Guy was a classmate and good friend. He gave me a job and a place to stay one winter in Denver. He will be greatly missed by his old friends and new. I always admired his zest for life!

Fly High Guy Birrenkott !!! Higher than the billboards your memories will NEVER perish 

Great Guy on earth and now a Greater  angel in heaven

My deepest sympathies to the whole Birrenkott family.  I am so sorry for your loss.

The Birrenkotts were family friends the years when I was growing up. Guy was a roommate in Colorado for a few months years ago. I've had the privilege to visit with Janelle a few times through the years. What a shocking tragic thing. My heart goes out to all of you. May God's peace surround you today. Lemmon, SD

Your photos shared are a beautiful story of the son, brother, father and friend Guy was to all.  I know your hearts are broken.  Mine is for you.  Peace to your family.

With deepest sympathy on the passing of Guy. I knew Sean the most from soccer years and know Sean made his dad proud week in week out

To:
Lunette, and Birrenkott family--
I want to express my deepest sympathy to everyone. I did not know Guy, but I do know loss, and Guy and your family will remain in my prayers always. May the Lord provide you with the strength necessary to bear Guy's loss...much love to everyone.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Guy. We have been good friends over 40 years. As the years went by we would contact each other and it would be as if we  had never separated. It seemed as if the conversation was picked up right  where we left off. I will miss you and miss your friendship. You had a life well lived old friend, hope some day to see you again.

My condolences to Phyllis, Vernon, and their extended family.  May Guy RIP.

I was going through pictures and found one from the night the Angels won the AAA River Park Little League title. There was Guy enjoying the moment with Brian and the other boys.  It reminded me of the countless hours Guy invested,not only in his sons, but all of their friends. Your family has always been a blessing to those fortunate enough to know you and we pray the Lord's grace and peace surround you.

Our thoughts and prayers to the Birrenkott family.
Nothing but special fond memories growing up with Guy.
God Bless.

I want to send my sympathy to Guy's family.  Wishing peace from your memories and the love of God to help you through your sadness.  I remember many acts of kindness from Guy while we were all growing up together in Lemmon.  It is clear that his kindness was part of his life.

Our sincerest condolences in the passing of Guy. May God bless all the Birrenkott's during this sad time.

God holds all the Birrenkott children in the palm of His hand. That is my comfort. I pray that this is comfort to you. I would like to be there to hold you.
                                                                          Susan Gunn (Lemmon, SD)
