Obituary

After a long battle with Diabetes and then Cancer, David Michael Guynes passed way on November 10, 2020 in his home in Dallas, Texas at the age of 77. He leaves behind his wife of almost 37 years, Lynne Guynes, his 2 sisters June Boyd of Heath Texas and Jane Henderson of Dallas, Texas.  David is also survived by his nieces Nita Vogt and husband Michael of San Antonio, Texas  & Jana and Thomas Manders of Fairview, Texas and the great nieces and nephews from both families. David lived a remarkably interesting and diversified life after 1 year out of college by going into the Wholesale car business on Ross Avenue for 3-4 years.  From there he moved on to be purchasing agent for Truett Laboratories in Farmers Branch, Texas, where “Mary Kay” cosmetics became one of his 1st customers.  In the 70’s it was then onto the moving business where he worked for companies such as Bekins, Allied and Mayflower.  At all 3 companies he did dispatching, sales and then he used his real talents by being an auditor and running auctions. However, his true passion was getting into the air conditioning industry and doing Warehousing and Distribution.  In 1980 he joined Texas Distributors (an employee owned company), out of Farmers Branch, Texas, as Warehouse Manager and a year later he met his future wife Lynne Kern, native of Royal Oak, Michigan.  David stayed in this industry until he retired from Carrier Corporation in May 2008. During his 12 years of retirement, David enjoyed giving his time and himself to help others by doing “Meals on Wheels” for those who needed, in the little Elm area in Denton County, Texas. Well known for his keen wit, quick and smart thinking, seeing both sides of a controversy and giving of himself selflessly to those in need, he will be sorely missed, but never forgotten and always remembered with a smile on our face. In Lieu of flowers or plants we ask that you may donate to the American Diabetes Association of Dallas or the Cancer Research Foundation.  Please feel free to add any comment to his obituary posted on the Aria Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road Dallas, Texas 75252 (214) 306-6700. https://ariacremation.com/obituary/ Please leave the family condolences and share memories on this website.

    I was saddened to hear of David’s passing! I have fond memories of David. He had the best sense of humor and was always so kind. I remember seeing him working on a car and he said it had over 200K miles. I said wow, it’s still running? Without a laugh or missing a beat, said “yep, just got her broke in.” He will be missed and surely made the world a better place with him in it. My deepest sympathies, Lynne and family!

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
