I will miss you Guy ❤️❣️️❤️
Guy…there are not enough words…a total pro when it came to music—a true friend—very graceful, kind to everyone…like a brother to me-missed by all…💜💔🎸
Guy was one of the kindest and most positive people I've ever been privileged to know. The world is a better place for his having been in it.
I met Guy around 1975/76 at a party hosted by Beth and Lisa Judy. He sat in with the band I was in with Rick Janz, Fred Uhle, and Gary Jones. I couldn’t believe how talented he was and how easy it was for him to jam on original music. Fast forward to the 2000’s and we play again in a few separate groups and I’m so amazed at his performance and love. I’ll always cherish that time ! Miss you brother ❤️
I’ve known guy since high school and he has always been true to himself, just a beautiful person.
Guy was one of the most Genuine Souls I have ever met. Never a harsh word out of his mouth and always there to encourage.
Oh the countless nights of watching him perform will always be in my mind and heart.
R.I.P my friend, you go Rock Heaven now!!

Guy Kingsbury was one of the best musicians I shared the stage with, but more importantly, he was a great friend and someone I considered a mentor in the music as I was getting my feet wet in the STL scene here.
The first time I met Guy was at the Dunsmoor’s Christmas party back in 2002. The year prior, I had met his son, Joe at the same party and started a very dear friendship itself along with many years of sharing the stage together.
The first time I met Guy, I was thrown the biggest loop ever. He called out War Pigs by Black Sabbath AT A CHRISTMAS PARTY! No bother to me, I jammed the song because I love it still. Right at the last verse, Guy blurted out “This is a happy song.” I was rolling.
Over the years, Guy and I managed to share a lot of laughs together on and off the stage. No matter if it was at rehearsals, clinics and everything in between. I learned how the power of humor can actually help rehearsals be productive from Guy. They can be tense from time to time and Guy was always good about making a very comfortable environment for everyone. I sure will miss both of us breaking down into our Shatner impressions.
I have so many other memories I can share in the various bands we were in, but those definitely are the ones that stand out. I will always be grateful for the impact Guy left on me and for all of us that knew him. In addition, my heart goes out to all of his family including Joe, Jill, Leslie, his grandchildren and so many others. I will never forget you, Guy.
Much love and sympathy,
Joe Gilbert
