Pastor Dean Guye left this life to enter heaven on July 1, 2021 at his home in Dickson, Tennessee at the age of 92.
Dean was born on July 3, 1928, near Thompsonville, Illinois to Ralph and Eunial Guye. He worked at Kroger stores in Galatia and Harrisburg, Illinois for several years. In 1955 Dean accepted the call to the ministry. In 1957 he was ordained to the Full Gospel Ministry by Ewin McLin in Presbytery, Illinois, of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. After pastoring churches in Illinois, he moved his family to Winchester, TN in 1967 so he could be in ministry full time. He has pastored 10 or more churches, three of them twice. He was the Associate Pastor of the Dickson Cumberland Presbyterian church at the time of his death. He last preached in April of 2021. Dean has helped with several ministries and building programs over the years. He worked alongside his church members and was dearly loved by all. Dean’s dying wish and prayer is that a great revival of God’s Spirit would sweep the nation.
In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his wife, Maryema Droit Guye; sons, Charles Dean and Johnnie Guye; brothers, Ralph Lee and Fletcher Guye; sister, Wanda Irvin; and son-in-law Phil Chockley.
