Guy H. Kinley ’85

Guy died Aug. 26, 2023. 
 

He grew up on naval bases around the country. He arrived at Princeton and immediately formed fast friendships across campus. He is remembered as a proud luminary of Tiger Inn, where he was known by many as “Duke,” referring to his masterful performances at the billiard table. Guy majored in politics. He held firmly to his Princeton relationships as a stalwart volunteer on the Reunions Committee, shepherding his technology-challenged classmates with their online interactions.
 

After college, Guy earned an MBA at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern, where he met his wife, Tami. The two of them moved to Belgium, where they welcomed their first son Jackson, “the Brussels Sprout.” After returning to the United States, they settled in Glen Ridge, N.J., where Jackson was joined by Caroline, Lily, and Davis. Guy relished fatherhood and gloried in spreading the news as each of his children arrived.

He embarked on a career first at IBM, then Accenture and EY, and had most recently moved to Altman Solon, as partner.
Guy was a rock and beacon of light at work, at home, and in the community — welcoming all who needed a place to stay, cheering on his children at sporting events, hosting holiday parties, volunteering his time for charities, and influencing the next generation of leaders, all with his approachable candor and innate desire to mentor. Guy held the role of confidant, adviser, protector, partner-in-crime, and pillar to everyone around him. 
 

Guy is survived by Tami; their children; his mother, Priscilla; and siblings Paul and Kara and their families.
