GLENS FALLS — Timothy Guy, a devoted husband, father, and cherished friend, passed away on August 2, 2025. He was born in Glens Falls, NY on March 7, 1957 to the late James and Sona Guy.

After serving his country with honor in the United States Army, he continued his service in the National Guard and later became a respected member of the Warren County Sheriff’s Department, serving in law enforcement for more than twenty-seven years. Tim was a K-9 handler for 8 of those years alongside his beloved dog, Tiger.

A true outdoorsman, he found joy in hunting, fishing, and golfing with those he loved.

There are so many special people that he loved and are family: nephews, cousins, brothers/sisters (you know who you are). There aren’t enough pages to name everyone that he held in his heart.
