Mr. Guillory was born August 15, 1934 in Opelousas, LA, but lived most of his life in Lake Charles, LA.  He worked as a laborer in the construction industry and was a longtime member of Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church.  Mr. Guillory enjoyed working on cars and tinkering around the house.  Everything he did was done out of love, and he especially loved conversating with others.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Louise and Johnny Guillory, Sr.; and brothers, Willie Guillory and Joseph Guillory and wife Mary.

His funeral service will be held at 1:00 PM on Thursday, December 3, 2020 at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, under the direction of Johnson Funeral Home.  Father Toby Mathew will officiate.  Burial will follow in Combre Memorial Park.  A gathering of family members and friends will be at the church on Thursday from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, with a rosary at 12:45 PM.
