Guy Branscome, Jr., 90, passed away January 27, 2024, at UMMC Grenada after a brief illness. He was born August 28,1933, in Duck Hill to Lillian and Guy Branscome.  He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Barbara McCurdy Branscome, his sons William Guy Branscome, III (Shanelle) of Grenada and John Carl Branscome (Amanda) of New Albany and grandchildren Austin, Sara Brooke and Jack. He is also survived by his brother, Hayes Branscome (Martha Fay) of Grenada.

After graduating from John Rundle High School, he attended Mississippi State University where he was a member of Kappa Sigma.  He graduated from Auburn University in 1957 with a D.V.M. degree.  He was commissioned as a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army and served two years.

Upon returning to Grenada, he worked in the cattle business as Co-Owner of Grenada Livestock Exchange and owner of Diamond B Ranch.  He served as president of the Mississippi Angus Association, the Mississippi Livestock Markets Association and the Mississippi Cattle Industry Board. He also served as president of the Grenada Rotary Club and was a Paul Harris Fellow.  In his early years, he was an avid quail hunter. Later he introduced his sons to the joy of being in the woods deer hunting, spending happy hours sharing deer stands. After his semi-retirement he became a serious Mississippi State Baseball fan, following the team as they played from coast to coast.  He also developed a love for travel as he and Barbara traveled extensively in Europe, South America and the Middle East. Whatever other activities he enjoyed, he was seldom happier than being at his farm watching his cattle which he did until his final days.  Above all this, was his complete love and devotion to his family, especially to his beloved grandchildren.

He was a long-time member of First Baptist Church.
