Guy Wesley Stone, known to some as “Lost,” passed away on April 29, 2025. He was born the eldest of 2 children on April 20, 1977, in Richmond, Virginia, to Clifford Ray Stone and Roxie Stone (Duval). Guy grew up with a love of sports, art, and making people laugh. He was always surrounded by friends, and on the off chance he was alone, he could be found drawing or playing basketball. His charming personality ensured that no one left his presence in a bad mood! He was a loyal friend to many who said there was no better gift than to have Guy by their side. Vincent Cable & Tim Bracey credit Guy for helping them through extremely hard times, and Tim says Guy saved his life! He graduated with honors from Varina High School in 1996.
He worked in different industries in his lifetime but found no other to fit his pleasing personality like the hospitality industry. He truly enjoyed working with people and creating the ultimate customer service experience. He was never late or called out of work, no matter where he worked, which endeared him to his employers. He was extremely proud of his attendance record and often quoted “the greatest ability you can have is availability”. His last employer was The Rivers Casino in Portsmouth, Virginia.
Guy and Kimberly Wynn developed a relationship and welcomed two beautiful children named Nyles and Kennedy Stone. Throughout his lifetime he gushed about his children to everyone, remarking them as the light of his life. As they went through school and began college he became increasingly even prouder of them and couldn’t believe that he, Guy Stone, had 2 children in college doing so unbelievably well.
While living in Richmond, he discovered a love for word play and fell in love with hip hop and the art of rap. He visited local music venues where he would display his talent on stage, and he adopted the rap name “Lost” as people often asked if he was lost, as he looked out of place. Now, when they asked him if he was “lost?” he would proudly answer, Yes, I am ‘Lost!” He met Jerome Jackson at one of these venues, and “Rome” would make him a part of the group SSSVEN7. He always credited “Rome” with saving his life by teaching him to release his feelings into his writings. In this group, he met Tasha “Cyko” Fizz and became best friends, which turned into a sibling relationship where he was her brother and she was his sister, as he said, being family does not require blood, only love!
After a large house fire at his Richmond home, Guy decided to move to Virginia Beach, where “Cyko” had previously commuted and invited him to come along in search of a new beginning. He began working and establishing stability when he decided that he also desired companionship. It was in looking for companionship that Guy met the woman whom he would later regard as the love of his life, Kandi Sykes (Stone). They went on their first date along with “Cyko,” and they never left each other’s side after that day. They happily dated for 2 years before they traveled to Portsmouth Circuit Court in Portsmouth, Virginia, and married on May 21, 2019. At that time, he would fondly remark that Cyko was now his “best man” and Kandi was his “best friend”. They were happily married and best friends through his untimely death.
Guy is survived by his wife, Kandi Stone; his children, Nyles Stone and Kennedy Stone; both of his parents, Clifford Ray Stone and Roxie Stone; his sister, Christie Atkins (Travis); his mother-in-law, Gwendolyn Sykes; his mothers-in-love, Denise Fizz-Riddick, and Sheila Wynn; his sisters-in-love, Tasha “Cyko” Fizz and Kaihla Riddick; his nephews, Tanner Atkins and Trent Atkins; his niece-in-love, Tatianna Riddick and a host of other grand nieces and nephews, in-laws and other fond loved ones.
Guy was a great man with a heart of pure gold, and his loss has been tremendously felt by every life that he crossed paths with. We ask that every life impacted by the great love that he simply was or the love he gave you while you were with him that you pass that love along to others every day, as his sister Christie said, the world needs far more people like him and not fewer thereof. Comforted that he is no longer in pain or distress, the family prays for the day we may get to see him again!

I just found out about his passing. I am so sorry to hear, but grateful to know he received his heavenly healing. We worked at the same place for a while. Even though I never got to truly have a conversation with him, I can tell you that every time I saw him in passing, he always had that sparkle in his eyes, a kind smile and a warm hello. You could tell he was loved. I am so sorry for the hurt and sadness you all are going through. Cling to Psalm 34
