Funeral services for Gregory Russell Guest, 29, of Alba, will be held on Saturday, October 10, at 11:00 a.m., at Amazing Grace Fellowship Church, Alba, with Bro. Byron George officiating.
Mr. Guest died on October 2, 2026. He was born on June 7, 1997, in Mt. Pleasant.
He grew up in Alba and was a graduate of Alba-Golden High School. He made an impression on everyone he met and never met a stranger. He had a way of making people feel welcome. He loved life, loved helping others, and loved his family.
He enjoyed being outdoors and could often be found hunting or fishing. But nothing compared to the love he had for his two sons, Sawyer and Scout. Being their father was one of the greatest joys of his life, and he treasured every moment with them.
Mr. Guest is survived by his parents, Stevi and John Houtz of Alba, and Jim Bob Guest of Detroit; sons, Sawyer Wayne Guest and Scout Russell Guest, both of Alba; grandparents, Donna White, Jean Hickman, Steve Gilmore, Annette Houtz and Jeanie Guest; brothers, John David Houtz, Jr. and wife Lindsey of Lewisburg, Penn., and Chase Houtz of Mineola; sisters, Madison Nicole Smith and husband Landon of Alba, Kara Houtz of Milton, Penn., Emily Houtz of Mineola, and Annie Guest of Elk City, Okla.; special aunts and uncles, Taylor Hickman of Golden and Mark and Danielle Houtz of Trevorton, Penn.; and numerous other relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Jimmy “Pop” Guest; and great-grandparents, “Poppy Do” and “Nana P.”
The family will receive friends on Friday, October 9, from 6:00-8:00 p.m., at Wilson-Bartley Funeral Home.
Services are under the direction of Wilson-Bartley Funeral Home, Alba.
