Robert “Bob” Julian Guyse departed this life into God’s presence on Sunday, October 13, 2024, at the age of 85. Bob was born in Forest, Mississippi to William A. Guyse Jr. and Irene Huffman Guyse on October 23, 1938. Upon graduating from Forest High School, Bob attended Mississippi State University before joining the United States Air Force. He returned home after his military service to assist with the family business before venturing out and having a successful career in sales and management. Bob had a love for vintage cars, building and collecting model cars, reading and collecting John Grisham novels, and could appreciate a great classic western movie. Most of all, Bob loved his family. He would participate in his children’s school activities, often bringing band equipment to away football games. As a former Boy Scout, he was proud that his son and grandsons carried on the scouting tradition with each earning the rank of Eagle Scout. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
In addition to his parents, Bob is preceded in death by his sister, Doris Jean Leahey and two brothers, William “Bill” A. Guyse III and James “Jim” H. Guyse.
