David Lee Guidry

On August 9th, 2023, David Lee Guidry, our beloved husband, brother, father and grandfather, passed away after a short battle with cancer. Dave has been a lifetime Silver Valley resident and had been residing in Kellogg for the past 30 years at the time of his passing.

Dave was born in Wallace, ID to Richard and Dorothy Guidry and was one of 7 siblings. He graduated from Wallace High School and soon began working in several mills and mines in the area.

In October of 1979 he met his soon to be wife Vicki, and a few years later he went back to college to get his degree in computer programming, which later turned into another stretch of college to earn his associate degree in both programming and computer repairs. He was dedicated and eager to learn more, and always put his heart into everything he did.

In his younger years he enjoyed the outdoors, long drives to see the countryside, swimming and playing board and card games. His knowledge, and his quiet studious nature made him a very strategic opponent to any game he played, and he often let you win just to play fair. His good-natured soul and his tremendous patience made him an excellent teacher and the go-to guy for problem solving.

He is preceded in death by both parents and one sibling.

He is survived by his wife, Vicki, of 44 years; three daughters, Stacy (Brad) Schultz of Athol, ID, Heather Guidry of Clarkston WA, and Misti Guidry (Cody Kelley) of Kellogg ID; two granddaughters Bryce (Connor) Ellison of Post Falls, and Raegan Kelley of Kellogg; 3 step-granddaughters and 7 great-grandchildren.

A celebration of David's life will be held on Saturday, September 16, 2023, 1:00 PM at the Wallace Elks Club, Wallace, ID.
