WEST GLENS FALLS, NY – The West Glens Falls Fire Company is mourning the loss of one of the community’s most beloved figures, Tim Guy, whose recent passing has left a deep void in the hearts of all who knew him. With heavy hearts and sincere sympathy, the members of the department extend their deepest condolences to the Guy family during this profoundly difficult time.
Tim Guy was more than just a familiar face—he was a pillar of strength, kindness, and community spirit. Known for his unwavering support of first responders, his presence was a constant at local events, firehouse fundraisers, community outreach efforts, and in the everyday rhythm of West Glens Falls life. His legacy is woven into the very fabric of the town he loved so dearly.
“A legend to all that met him,” said one firefighter. “Tim didn’t just support the fire company—he supported every person who wore the uniform. Whether you were a rookie or a veteran, you knew you had a friend in him.”
The firehouse, usually a place of action and camaraderie, has been quiet with reflection in recent days. Members have gathered to share stories, exchange memories, and honor the incredible life of a man who inspired many. Tim had a way of lifting people up—whether through his words, his humor, or simply his presence. His respect for the sacrifices of first responders never went unnoticed, and he gave back to the department in ways both seen and unseen.
“He was always the first to lend a hand, drop off coffee on cold mornings, or stand in the crowd cheering us on during parades,” recalled another firefighter. “He was one of us, even if he didn’t wear the gear.”
The Guy family has been a part of the broader firefighting family for generations, and the outpouring of support from neighboring departments and community members is a reflection of how deeply Tim’s life touched others. His legacy is one of service, loyalty, and love for his community—values that mirror the very mission of the West Glens Falls Fire Company.
As the department joins the Guy family in mourning, there is also a strong commitment to celebrating Tim’s life in the way he would have wanted: by standing strong together, supporting one another, and continuing to serve the community with pride.
A memorial tribute is being planned in coordination with the Guy family, and details will be announced in the coming days. Fire company flags will fly at half-staff in Tim’s honor, and the fire bell will be rung once in solemn remembrance of his passing.
To the Guy family:
“Please know that your firehouse family is holding you close in thought and prayer. Tim was one of a kind—a true friend to many, and a legend in our eyes. We are so grateful for the time we had with him. His spirit will always be with us. Rest in peace, Tim. You will never be forgotten.”
