  HIST	of the home of Sumter, South Carolina LEROY GUESS JR. Posted: Sunday, August 3, 2014 12:00 am Leroy Olin Guess Jr., 61, died Friday, Aug. 1, 2014, at Tuomey Regional Medical Center. Born in Sumter, he was the son of the late Leroy O. Guess and Erma Lee Compton. Roy was an avid truck driver for many years until his health left him unable to continue in the profession. After his truck driving career ended, he pursued a career at First Baptist Church of Sumter as their maintenance man for well more than 10 years. Poor health ended that career as well. Although his employment came to an end at First Baptist Church, his faith, dedication and attendance continued. His dear friends in the men's Sunday school class made sure he got to church every Sunday, and a very special friend, Don Morris, also helped him. Roy leaves behind his daughter, Crystal Guess; his grandchildren, Candler Dubose and Caiden Allen; two stepdaughters, Joyce Nesbitt and Beth Rainey; his sister, Becky (Jack) Pavlas; three nieces, Jamie (Clay) Sims, Kimberly Medlin and Jennifer (Michael) McKim; two nephews, Willie Hinson and Justin (Brooke) Brogdon; three great-nieces; and three great-nephews. He was preceded in death by his two sisters, Karen Medlin and Sandy Brogdon. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday at Elmore Hill McCreight Funeral Home, with the Rev. Charles Clanton officiating. Burial will follow in the Sumter Cemetery. Honorary pallbearer will be Caiden Allen. The family will receive friends from 10 to 11 a.m. at Elmore Hill McCreight Funeral Home & Crematory. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to First Baptist Church of Sumter, P.O.
