Kimberly Dawn Guyda

Posted 2025-08-01 by Melissa Denise Guyda
Kimberly Dawn Guyda, known fondly to her friends and family as Kim, was a beacon of light
whose gentle, selfless, and loving nature touched the lives of all who knew her. Born on March
25, 1971, in Wichita Falls, Texas, Kim's journey through life was one marked by joy, passion, and
an unwavering spirit of giving. She departed from this world on July 21, 2025, in Phoenix,
Arizona, after a valiant battle with terminal cancer, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and
resilience that will forever resonate in the hearts of those she loved.

Kim's early years were filled with the melodies of her favorite music, a passion that stayed with
her throughout her life. Her love for the outdoors was evident in the way her eyes lit up under the
sky. She carried this love with her, finding solace in nature's embrace, whether she was exploring
the rugged beauty of the Arizona landscape or simply sitting beneath the shade of a tree,
crafting intricate beadwork that reflected the beauty she saw in the world.

The horses, majestic creatures that they are, held a special place in Kim's heart. She admired
their strength and grace, qualities she herself embodied in the way she navigated life's
challenges. Kim's connection to these noble animals was not just a hobby but a reflection of her
soul's yearning for freedom and the joy of life's unbridled moments.

As we remember Kim, we think of a woman who exemplified the very essence of compassion. She
was the kind of person who would listen intently, speak kindly, and act with the intention of
uplifting others. Her family, including her mother Mary Ann Bearup, her father Ronald E. Guyda,
and her siblings Kevin B., Melissa D. Guyda, and daughter Dache knew this compassion well, as
it was a gift she bestowed upon them every day of her life.
