To Honor and Celebrate the Life of Stev Guyer and Extend Sincere Condolences to his Family and Friends on the Occasion of his Passing on Thursday, March 29th, 2018.
Body
WHEREAS, Born in Georgia, Stev Guyer was never known for taking the conventional route; after six months of college, Stev dropped out of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 1972 to pursue his passion for music and perform full-time with his band; in 1978 he moved to Columbus, and, in 1989, he co-founded Shadowbox Live, a theater group; and
WHEREAS, As Shadowbox Live grew in size and had an increasingly large annual budget, Stev also diversified the types of performances produced by the group, ranging from rock operas to sketch comedies; he played an integral role in the day-to-day functions of the troupe; and
WHEREAS, Unfortunately, Stev was diagnosed with cancer and stepped away from his role as CEO and President months before passing, but his spirit will continue to inspire future creative endeavors of the troupe and his creative pursuits will shine through all future performances; and
WHEREAS, He is remembered by coworkers as passionate and incredibly talented and will continue to serve as an inspiration for Columbus’s art community; his family and friends will never forget his creativity, kindness, and unique personality; now, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS:
That this Council does hereby honor and celebrate the life of Stev Guyer and extend our sincerest condolences to his family and friends on the occasion of his passing on March 29th, 2018.
