The London, Ontario community is heartbroken over the passing of Kent Guy, a beloved colleague, friend, and respected Associate Director of Community Relations at Ronald McDonald House Southwestern Ontario (RMH SWO). His loss has left family, friends, and countless people whose lives he touched grieving a man remembered for his compassion, loyalty, and unwavering belief in the people around him.

Kent was deeply rooted in London, having lived and grown up in the city he proudly called home. His professional journey and personal connections created a network of relationships spanning decades—from his early days working in media catering at the JLC, to cheering on McKenna and Quinn playing soccer at age four, and ultimately finding his calling within the mission-driven work of Ronald McDonald House SWO. Every place Kent went, he carried with him warmth, humor, and a remarkable ability to make others feel valued.

Those closest to him speak of Kent as more than a colleague—he was a confidant, a protector, and a steady source of guidance. He brought people to the table, not only because he believed in their abilities, but because he understood the importance of creating a mission-driven community. “You have been a friend, a shoulder to lean on, a wise word of advice and a great protector,” one tribute reads—a sentiment echoed by many who relied on Kent’s strength and kindness.

Kent’s impact extended beyond his work. To Natalie, to Jetset, and to many others, he was a champion who supported their dreams wholeheartedly. They remember him fondly as “Clipboard Kent,” a playful nickname that captures the mix of dedication, organization, humor, and heart he brought to every project. His absence leaves those who loved him devastated and broken-hearted, yet profoundly grateful for the years of support, encouragement, and friendship he offered so generously.

Kent leaves behind a legacy of compassion, service, and belief in others. His presence shaped the community around him, and the mission he helped build at RMH SWO will continue to thrive in his honor.

To know Kent was to be believed in—and he will be deeply, forever missed.
