Guy was born December 8, 1939 in the family farmhouse outside of Twitty, in Wheeler County to Curtis William Thompson and Helen Marie Lawrence Thompson. He moved to Pampa at a young age and attended Pampa schools. Guy served in the Texas National Guard from 1957 to 1963 rising to the rank of Specialist 4. On November 17, 1961, he married Sharon Sue Nabors in Pampa. For 42 years, from September 1959 to September 2001, he worked for The Cabot Corporation-Carbon Black Division. Guy and Sharon were the proud parents of two children: Guy William Thompson, Jr. (Billy) born in 1962, and Susan Michelle Thompson born in 1967. 

Guy enjoyed raising Angus cattle with his son Billy, collecting guns and coins, and riding motorcycles. He loved spending time outdoors and enjoyed vacationing at Cabot Ranch and other places in Colorado. Guy, Sharon, and Billy were very fond of traveling to the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs to watch Falcon football games. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge #1381 in Pampa.
