Rory Stephen Guidry, a devoted son, brother, friend, passionate technologist, art enthusiast, and strong ally to the LGBTQ community, passed away peacefully at home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on October, 2024. He was 37 years old and surrounded by his family.

Born on March 24, 1987, in Opelousas, Louisiana, Rory was the first child of Susan Wyble (née Cormier) and Stephen Boyd Guidry Sr, and my older brother. Ever since he was young he was always interested in computers and technology, and had a deep appreciation for art, music. My brother had a talent in Rap and Hip hop music as well as playing bass guitar.

He was always interested in learning and sharing knowledge with others in IT communities and was a professional in information security.

My brother spent many hours playing games competitively such as Counter Strike and Quake.

Rory is survived by his mother, Susan Wyble; his sister, Melissa Guidry and her partner, Ryan Fontenot; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who held him dear. He was preceded in death by his father, Stephen Boyd Guidry Sr., and his paternal grandparents.

A celebration of Rory's life will be held at Our Lady Queen of Angels Catholic Church in Opelousas, Louisiana. Our family has ultimately chosen to hold a private memorial.
