Guy D. Auguste. was a devoted husband, loving father, adored grandfather, caring brother and uncle, and cherished friend. He was a hardworking and dedicated man who approached life with unwavering determination. He started from humble beginnings by coming to the United States at the age of 14 years old and working hard.

From 1996 till the end, he worked at his different passions of flipping houses, doing repairs in homes, traveling, and spending time with his wife, children, grandchildren, siblings, extended family members, and friends while enjoying life.

He took immense pride in providing for his family and always strived to make their lives better. He loved and ensured his wife was well taken care of and was grateful for the 47 years they had together. He loved his four daughters and one son very much and raised them to be strong-willed and self-determined. He believed in teaching all of his children and those he mentored how to work hard, set high expectations, learning how to do things to be self-sufficient, and standing up for family. He believed in family.

He loved and adored each of his thirteen grandchildren and his newest great grandchild. Each grandchild had a special place in his heart. He knew his legacy would live on through them. The grandchildren loved their grandparents, and it would always bring a smile on his face when he was able to speak with them. He had a special relationship with each one.

He was a real handyman and a true Boy Scout. He was always prepared for any disaster and made sure his wife and children knew how to do repairs in the home and cars. In addition to his strong work ethic and zest for life, Guy was a man who truly enjoyed life. He had an infectious enthusiasm for fun and adventure. Whether it was a family outing to visit family in New York, North Carolina, Canada, a get-together with friends, or a simple moment of joy, Guy had a way of making every experience special.

Guy loved dancing, swimming, ping pong, was a master racquetball player, playing dominoes, and a Haitian game called Bezigue. He loved to celebrate life and would find any opportunity to have a party and fire up the grill. His parties were epic and one that all who knew him would remember.
