George Warren Guider, Jr. was born on April 7, 1946, to Dr. and Mrs. George Guider of Vicksburg, Mississippi. He was the eldest of eight children.

Warren attended St. Aloysius High School, where he was active in sports, and graduated in 1964. He went on to attend and graduate from The University of Southern Mississippi in 1969. During this time, he also proudly served in the Army Reserve from 1969 to 1975.

While attending Southern Miss, Warren met the love of his life, Vera E. “Becky” Guider. The two were married in 1969 and shared more than fifty years together. They were blessed with two sons, George W. Guider III and Gaddis R. Guider.

For twenty years, Warren worked at the Grand Gulf Nuclear Power Station before later founding and operating his own environmental company, Envirosav. His work took him throughout Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, and Michigan.

Warren believed deeply that young people should be actively involved in academics, athletics, and the arts. He devoted much of his time to coaching youth football and baseball and later served as an avid supporter of youth activities. He also loved the outdoors and enjoyed hunting and fishing, especially when sharing those experiences with his sons and grandsons.

Those who knew Warren recognized his unique personality and sense of humor. He could be as impulsive and outspoken as St. Peter, yet quick to acknowledge mistakes and show remorse. His faith and his family were the constants of his life. He was a faithful member of St. Michael Catholic Church.

Warren is survived by his beloved wife, Vera E. “Becky” Guider; his sons, George W. Guider III (Tonya) and Gaddis R. Guider (Alissa); his grandsons, Peyton R. Guider (Stacia) and Kyle R. Guider (Jewel); his granddaughter, Amelia Guider; his great-grandchildren, Ayden Thomas, Greyson Guider, and McKenna Guider; as well as his seven cherished sisters; Gail Boland (Mike), Patricia Sadler (Robert), Judy Conerly (Marion), Karen Jacobs (Dick), Janelle Bond, (Dennis), Gwyn Neill (John), and Kelly Finch (John); his sister-in-law, Meg Hatch (Mike); and many loving nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends..

The family would like to thank Dr. Sam Pierce, Morgan Caufield, NP, and the staff at Heritage House Nursing Center.

Warren will be remembered for his devotion to family, his faith, his service to others, and his love of the outdoors. His legacy lives on through the many lives he touched.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.
