Anthony Joseph Guyer, 29, of Aplington, Iowa formerly of West Union, Iowa died Wednesday, October 23, 2019 at University of Iowa Hospitals in Iowa City, Iowa. He was born December 21, 1989 to Daniel Guyer and Bernadine Pritchard in West Union, Iowa. Anthony graduated from North Fayette High School, West Union in 2008 and NASCAR Technical Institute in Mooresville, North Carolina. 

     Anthony was united in marriage with Kristen McCrea on January 23, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada. They recently renewed their vows on October 19, 2019. He worked at Heavy Equipment Manufacturing in Grundy Center as an Assembler and Mechanic.

     Anthony also known as gear head had so many things in life that he loved and had so much passion for. First being his wife, friends and family, next being his love for working whether it being on vehicles, around the house, or working on the farm. He was a gear head and when he got off work you could tell by his clothes. Growing up he was involved with motocross, and he always had a passion to get back on a bike. He also spent a lot of time snowmobiling with his friends. Anthony was known for his contagious smile that could light up a room, his big loud trucks, changing jobs, crown royal, playing roulette at the casino, cherry chapstick the ChapStick™ brand, smelling like a million dollars, helping out others in need, cowboy boots, and his animals Bear, Lucky, and Rufus.
