He was born in Grundy County, son of Guy Sr. and Ona Sherbon Stover. He married Arlene Emerson; they were later divorced. He later married Sharon Surette of Kamploops, Canada.

Preceded in death by two daughters, an infant, Gloria, and Barbara Stephenson; and four brothers, Guy Jr., Francis, Jaye and Cecil.
