Kevin Lynn Guthrie, 56, of Wasilla, Alaska, passed away on July 27, 2025, at Providence Medical Center in Anchorage, Alaska, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Kevin was born in Knoxville, Tenn. Graduated from Halls High School and went on to serve his country with honor in the United States Air Force and the Alaska Air National Guard. While in the U.S. Air Force, Kevin earned an associate's degree in applied science from the Community College of the Air Force. While serving in the Alaska Air National Guard, Kevin deployed to multiple overseas locations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Following his service, he built a long and dedicated career with AT&T, where he worked for 17 years.
Kevin's other loves were his 1967 Mustang, everything sci-fi and a vast collection of T-shirts with unique quotes. He was a computer geek before computer geeks became cool. His wife, of 33 years, was so glad that he had that skill. He also found joy and peace in Alaska's outdoors. Some of his happiest times were spent working on his mustang with Adam, fishing for salmon and halibut with Jeff in Kachemak Bay and Prince William Sound, camping at his favorite spots—Blueberry Lake in Valdez and the Homer Spit—or soaking in Greg and Tessie's hot tub.
He was preceded in death by his father, Jesse Lynn Guthrie; and mother, Barbara Laverne (Farrington) Mayhew.
Kevin is survived by his wife, Laurie (McNamara) Guthrie; sons, Kyle Guthrie and Caelan Guthrie; brothers and their wives, Jason (Ashley) Guthrie and Bryan (Kelli) England; stepsister, Anna Leah (Ben Edwards) Keene; and stepbrother, Tommy Keene. Uncle to Jett Guthrie, Elijah England, Kamerin England and Masen England, who will all carry his memory forward.
A Celebration of Life ceremony will take place on Saturday, Sept. 20, 2025, from 2-4 p.m., at Mat-Su Central School, 2055 N. Stringfield Road in Palmer, Alaska. Friends and family are invited to gather, share memories and honor the life of a man deeply who will be greatly missed.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the American Cancer Society in Kevin's name.
