Guy B. Fox

In Loving Memory of Guy B. Fox Guy B. Fox, a man known for his gentle spirit and deep kindness, peacefully passed away on Tuesday, October 10, 2023. He was a remarkable individual, cherished by many as the "walking Bible" due to his profound knowledge of scripture, which he had the extraordinary ability to bring to life for everyone he encountered. His life was a testament to unwavering faith, fatherly wisdom, and his incredible knack for guiding others through life's trials with grace and compassion. Guy was not only a man of faith but also a source of humor, renowned for his one-liners that could brighten even the darkest days. He was a constant pillar of support and the closest confidant to his beloved wife, Desiree Fox. His wise counsel and sound advice were sought by many, and his unwavering devotion to his family was truly extraordinary. Throughout his life, Guy courageously battled illness for over 38 years, never once allowing it to waver his faith or dampen his spirit. He was a man of profound integrity who willingly sacrificed his own desires for the well-being of his family, even when faced with the prospect of further medical procedures. Guy's life was a testament to his unwavering commitment to ministry. He faithfully served as a Deacon at Ogletown Baptist Church for over two decades. Subsequently, he co-founded New Heart Ministries and became an Apostle, dedicating himself to serving multiple churches in the region. Alongside his wife, he served as a regional leader for the Christian International Apostolic Network. Born in Georgetown, Guyana, he migrated to Washington DC to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Engineering from Howard University, where he continued his studies, ultimately earning an MBA from the same institution. Before answering the call to ministry, he enjoyed a flourishing career at DuPont Corporation, which led his family to Delaware. Guy was not just a man of faith and wisdom; he was also a loving father. He cherished moments of family bonding, experimenting with cooking, sharing culinary knowledge with his son Alton, or preparing his favorite breakfast with his daughter Danita. As a true sports fanatic, he relished those spirited moments of yelling at the TV screen with his son Brentley. Guy is survived by his devoted wife, Desiree, and his loving children: Danita, Brentley, Alton, and his daughter-in-love Julie. He also leaves behind several brothers and sisters, numerous nephews, nieces, cousins, and a multitude of friends who were deeply touched by his kindness and wisdom. A viewing will be held on Friday, October 20, 2023, from 11 AM to 12 PM, followed by the funeral at noon at Ogletown Baptist Church, located at 316 Red Mill Road, Newark, DE 19713. A reception with light refreshments will follow the service. A private burial will take place at a later date.
