Dennis Stephen Guyon

Rensselaer, NY-Dennis Stephen Guyon, 68, passed away on June 13, 2024 while visiting family in Monroe, MI. He was born on August 3, 1955 in Albany, NY to the late Stanley and Julie Guyon. A resident of East Greenbush, NY Dennis was a devoted husband to Lorraine Tremont Guyon, a proud father to Jessica (Aaron) Dougherty and Christopher Guyon, and a cherished Grampy to Henry and Cora Dougherty. He is also survived by his brother, Gary (Jean) Guyon, his brother-in-law David (Deb) Tremont, his nieces and nephews, Ashley (Brandon) Ballou, Michael (Morgan) Tremont, Stephanie King (Daniel F. Noriega), Daniel Tremont (Sarah Flexon), grand dogs Cookie Monster and Taylor, and a modest fleet of self-taught and expertly played instruments. He was happily enjoying retirement from his position as a Senior Communications Specialist with The Lighting Research Center at RPI. Dennis had many passions, including the Beatles, classic cars, photography, engaging in charity and volunteer work, creating art and music with his friends and using his mechanical gifts to fix whatever was broken. He enjoyed baseball, especially when the Yankees won, as well as bowling and golf. He could be easily recognized as an integral, mustachioed member of the Church of St. Vincent de Paul music ministry in Albany, where he and his wife made music together for over 40 years. He took pride in his culinary skills, particularly in making overly complicated charcuterie presentations for holiday get-togethers. His favorite thing, however, was to eat the bits of crusty burned sauce around a pan of chicken parm. Dennis was known for his dedication to his children’s theatrical pursuits, often building sets, props, or running a soundboard. The Funeral Mass celebrating the going forth of Dennis will be held July 13, 2024, at the Church of St. Vincent de Paul - 900 Madison Ave. Albany, NY 12208 at 11:00am. The funeral will be live streamed through the website (www.stvincentdepaulalbany.org) and will be available thereafter on YouTube at St.Vincent de Paul Albany. Immediately following the Mass there will be a Celebration of Dennis’ life with food and song in the Community Room/Parish Hall at the Church of St. Vincent de Paul.
