Guy Dean Paysour, Sr.

Guy Dean Paysour, Sr., 78, of Shelby, NC, passed away on September 10, 2026 at his home. Born May 30, 1948 in Cleveland County, he was the son of the late George Theodore Pasour and Earsie Grigg Wood. He was also preceded in death by his son Glenn Paysour, grandchildren Brooke Paysour and Adam Kale Wood, and brothers George Jr., Jerry, and Donnie Paysour.

Dean retired from Osage Mill (formerly known as Reeves Brothers Textiles) in Bessemer City after working for many years as a supervisor. He was an avid motorcycle rider who undertook many cross-country trips and rode through 48 continental states and Canada. He honed his photography skills by capturing countless photos and videos of family, friends, trips, and vacations. In addition to motorcycles, he loved driving or riding anything with a motor, such as golf carts, hot rods, and boats. He enjoyed cruise vacations with his wife and family, fishing, shooting guns, and playing cards with his brothers and father. Dean got a kick out of performing magic tricks for his grandchildren. He was a fan of Dale Earnhardt and rock 'n' roll music. Most importantly, he was a loving husband, father, and PawPaw.

Dean is survived by his wife Faye Bridges Paysour, son Guy Dean Paysour II (Debbie), stepchildren Tammy Ramsey (Trey), Tony Wood (Sarah), and Bobby Wood (Suzy), and grandchildren Christopher Glenn Paysour II, Erika Phillips, Julie Paysour, Hannah Thompson, Hayden Wood, Drew Wood, Alex Ramsey, and Emily Bradley.
