He had been in poor health for the past three years. Guy was born May 1, 1953, in Forrest City, and was the son of Guy Lindsey Proctor, Sr. and Lillie Keathley Proctor. He lived in Forrest City until moving to Olive Branch, Mississippi, in 1993. He attended Castle Heights Military School for two years and later graduated from Forrest City High School. He then furthered his education at Arkansas State University. After college he joined his father in their family business, Proctor's Seed and Feed Inc. By the mid 1980's, it became one of the largest privately owned businesses of it's type in the state. Being so involved in the community and always willing to take that 'extra step', Guy and his father decided to continue their business reputation through Proctor's Real Estate, a full-service realty firm, selling all types of real estate, from farmland to downtown businesses and homes. Guy married Verna Sue French in August of 1974, and they made a beautiful life together for forty-six years. He loved spending time with his grandchildren and dearly loved his family and his wife. In Guy's younger days, he was an avid fisherman spending a lot of his time in bass tournaments all over the state of Arkansas. If he wasn't fishing, he was playing his guitar, working in the garden or doing some type of landscaping. He sure had a love for the outdoors. Guy was a devout Christian and was an active member of the Meadow Brook Baptist Church in Byhalia, Mississippi. Guy is survived by his loving wife, Verna Sue, along with one son; Guy Lindsey Proctor, III of Olive Branch, Mississippi, one daughter, Allison Proctor Thomas, and husband, Curt, of Coldwater, Mississippi, two grandchildren; Bailey Thomas and Dillon Thomas, his mother, Lille Proctor of Jonesboro, one sister, Caroline Proctor of Fayetteville, and one brother, Keath Proctor of Memphis.
