We seem to have come to a point in time where losing the classmates of our childhood has become an all too common occurrence. This month, Guy Littlefield passed away.
The following obituary was published by Bierschwale Family Heritage Oaks Mortuary:
Guy Duane Littlefield, loving father, husband, Papa, best brother, friend and great story teller, passed away peacefully at home on April 1, 2022 at the young age of 77, surrounded by many who loved him.
Guy was born on February 22, 1945, to Audree Louise Nockolds and Talmadge Ancel Littlefield. He was raised in San Antonio, Texas with his two sisters Linda and Donna, where he attended Harlandale High School. In 1966, he married his high school sweet heart, Joyce Eileen Hutton. They were happily married for 39 years with 3 children before she was unexpectedly called back to heaven.
He married Margaret "Maggie" Reeve in 2007 and they shared many adventures together for his remaining years including, but not limited to, goat and chicken farming, fishing, gardening, and solving the world's problems from their back porch in Rockport, Texas.
Guy enlisted in the United States Navy in 1965 and served six years while being stationed at Norfolk, Virginia. During that time, he joined many others and fought in the Vietnam War. He then began doing construction with his father-in-law, Leslie Hutton. He built the home where he raised his family and made many unforgettable memories.
Guy eventually moved on from construction and joined his father in the automotive business at T.A. Littlefield Auto Sales where they worked side by side for almost 40 years. Together they bought, sold, repaired, and traded cars, but more importantly made many longtime friends. When he retired from the car business, he found new passions to fill his days, spending many hours entertaining or being entertained by his grandchildren. Papa was their biggest fan and supporter, not missing many of their events before his body got tired.
Often a jokester, his laugh and goofy expressions kept those in his company constantly entertained. Throughout his life he loved the Lord. In the latter years Guy became a devoted student of the Bible, contributing greatly to his bible study classes and engaging many in discussions of God's Word and their personal relationship with Jesus.
Guy is survived by his wife: Maggie Littlefield and his children: Kendra Biela and husband Tim, Dustin S. Littlefield, and fiancé Katie Woods; stepchildren: Dawn Sharp, Craig Wilson, and wife Rebecca; 15 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild, 2 sisters, many nieces, nephews, and a multitude of friends, all who loved him deeply.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Audree Louise, and T.A. Littlefield; wife, Joyce Eileen; and son, Richard Wayne.
A memorial service at Heritage Oaks Mortuary Chapel was held in his honor on April 8, 2022.
