Tony was born May 9, 1960, the son of John and Judy (Little) Guyer in Des Moines, Iowa. Tony was a union painter most recently employed by Color Inc. of Des Moines.

Tony enjoyed every minute of life and wanted those around him to do the same. He had a heart of gold and would do anything he could to help a person in need. He enjoyed spending as much time as he could outdoors. Tony's prized possession was his riding lawn mower that he said took him 50 years to get.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Association or charity of your choice in Tony's memory.

Tony's smile and jovial attitude will be greatly missed by all.
