Obituary of Dudley R. Guay

Dudley Guay 1949 - 2017 Dudley Roy Guay, affectionately known as "Dud," was born May 30, 1949 to Edmund and Blanche Guay in Dawson Creek. Dudley grew up in Rolla and Blueberry, settling in Dawson in 59. He excelled at basketball and academics, graduating Valedictorian. He would achieve his pilot's license and his insurance broker license at a young age. He married Wendy Moffit in 1971 and had daughter Deanna in 1976. Dudley and Wendy eventually separated, but remained close friends. He worked as a Realtor in Dawson and on the coast. He was a born people person and salesman. Dudley was in his element when he was wheeling and dealing, wining and dining and engaging in friendly competition. He spent his life living and working in the Peace Region and the Vancouver Coast. Dudley continued working as a Realtor and tried his hand at commercial fishing. He worked in construction, oil and gas, and the first aid fields as a safety officer. He loved to work and was loved by his co-workers, staff, and employers. He was always willing to lend a helping hand. He was often found helping one of his brothers or a buddy with a task, constantly loaning his things, not caring if he ever saw them again, if it meant helping someone out. He loved to tease and make people laugh. Dudley loved being outdoors - horses, campfires, fishing and the great outdoors were his happy place. He fit easily into a group of any kind; his easy going and lighthearted nature is a testament to why he always had such a large and loyal group of friends. Dudley was predeceased by his parents, Edmund and Blanche Guay. He is survived by his daughter Deanna (Michael) Sudnik, granddaughters Rebecca and McKenna Sudnik, brothers Art Guay, Ken Guay, Don Guay as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He will be missed greatly by his family and his large "family" of friends. A memorial service was held May 8, 2017 at the Bergeron Chapel, Dawson Creek, officiated by Bev Dunsmore.
