Guy Michael Whiteley

Guy Michael Whiteley, 64, of Bennington, NH, and formerly of Stafford Springs, CT, passed away on Friday, February 16, 2024, at Granite VNA Hospice House in Concord, NH. Guy was born in Hartford, CT, the son of the late Thomas Whiteley and Norene (Delargy) Whiteley. Guy is survived by his son, Aben Whiteley, daughter Melissa “Missy” Whiteley and her fiancé Mike Bourgeois of NH, his mother Norene Whiteley, brother Thomas Whiteley and his wife, Shari, sister Christine DePellegrini and her husband, Dino of CT, as well as two grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded by his wife of over 45 years, Terrie (Hornacek) Whiteley, who passed fifteen days prior on February 1, 2024, after a short battle with cancer. He was also preceded by his eldest son, Jeramey Whiteley (April 2023).

Guy was a great outdoorsman, and animal lover (especially to his cat Sioux). He could fix anything and enjoyed making crafts out of raw materials. He was a gifted athlete in his younger years, but most importantly, Guy was a friend to all with his gentle heart and calm demeanor.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Granite VNA Hospice House for treating Guy like a king, and with dignity and grace during his final days.

A celebration of life for both Guy and Terrie will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation may be made to St. Joseph’s Indian School , 1301 North Main Street, Chamberlain, SD 57325; saintjosephs@stjo.org.
