Our father was a giant with powerful healing hands. He taught us to work hard and play hard and so much more.
He was larger than life. His smile lit up a room — infectious, warm, full of mischief and joy. I feel certain God called him home not just to reunite him with loved ones who had passed, but to see his smile in person. A smile that reassured his patients and made known the love he felt for his children. He spent his career caring for people in their most difficult moments, while raising six children — one boy and five girls.
He was born on July 20, 1939, as Lucy and Guy Sr.’s second child in Washington, Iowa. He was 8 years younger than his sister Joyce Montgomery Rusk. After high school, he went to undergraduate at Iowa State University from 1957-1961, then medical school in South Dakota 1961-1963, graduating in 1963. In 1964, he met and married Kathleen Kay Klink.
Guy lived and practiced medicine in Washington, Iowa; Denver; Carrington, North Dakota; Jamestown, North Dakota; Park Rapids, Minnesota; Dickinson, North Dakota; and Beach, North Dakota, from 1965 to 1979. He raced snowmobiles during this time as well. In 1979, Guy moved to Casper, Wyoming, and started his career in Emergency Room medicine. In 1986, he relocated his family to Gillette, Wyoming, and worked in the ER at Campbell County Memorial Hospital. In 1995, he and his wife moved to Powell, Wyoming, where he continued to work in the ER until his retirement in 2007. He retired to Pine Haven, Wyoming, and spent winters in Casa Grande, Arizona, until 2018. He and Kay eventually moved back to Gillette in 2021.
Guy is survived by his children: TJ (Debbie) Montgomery of Colorado; Kris (Tom Rojas) Montgomery of Virginia; Dodie (David Hargis) Montgomery of New Mexico; Janet (Jasper Warembourg) Montgomery of Wyoming; Robbie (Roy) Holdeman of Wyoming; Diane (Don) Ault of Wyoming; seven grandchildren and two nephews.
Condolences can be sent to 4405 Westover Rd, Gillette, WY 82718.
After cremation, a memorial will be held later with interment reuniting with his wife at Mt. Pisgah in Gillette, Wyoming.
