Guy JANSEN Obituary

I am so very very sad to just learn of Guys's death. I was going through memorabilia and found a note from Guy and Judy upon the death of my husband, Rev Bill Kintner. I will reach out to the rest of the family. Soooo very sad !!! Many prayers, Colleen Kintner

I have many fond memories of Guy from my time with the Festival Singers of Wellington. Especially memorable were his inspirational leadership style and the many "magical" performance events like the Durufle Requiem concert in the Wellington Cathedral, the Christmas Concert in the Wellington Town Hall, and the bus trips up the North Island to provide choral leadership and long-weekend workshops to many Churches in those regions. He fostered tremendous fellowship and brought quality liturgical choral music to the fore. Well done thou good and faithful servant!

Sorry to hear this news. Thinking of the family at this time.

Sad to hear of Guy's passing. I remember Guy from the Department of Education in the late 80s when he was Education Officer (Music) in Curriculum Development section. He was a passionate advocate for music education who mentored and inspired many people. I had a lot of respect for his work in this area and his vast musical knowledge and experience. My sympathies go to his family at this sad time.

Dear Judy and family, our love and sympathies to you all. Guy lived a full and fruitful life, sharing his many gifts so freely with so many.You will miss him indeed! John and I are so thankful that he was a big part of our lives in Christchurch nearly 50 years ago as newly weds.My time at College with him as my main lecturer, opened up so many possibilities and opportunities. We remember him with deep gratitude.

You have my sympathy for your loss. This is a difficult time for your family, but you can have comfort in God's promise of everlasting life on a paradise earth (Ps 37:29).

A sad loss - remembered with much gratitude and affection.

Fond memories of working with Guy and the Celebration Singers of Christchurch in the 1970's including many rehearsals and recording sessions in the old Oxford Tce Baptist Church. Blessings to Judy and family

I have wonderful memories of Guy leading us so well as part of the Celebration Singers - what a great experience that helped shape my love for music. Thanks for your amazing vision and passion. Blessings to the family.

The Spotswood College Alumni(New Plymouth) extends its deepest sympathy to the extended Jansen family on the passing of Guy who was the College's Music teacher from 1964-1966. Guy enthusiastically embraced the College's music faculty in both curricular and extra-curricular activities. Inspiring groups like the Orchestra, the Madrigal singers and the Choir gave all students involved lifelong memories. One highlight was performing in front of the Queen Mother in 1966, while another was the recording by the Massed Choir of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus in 1965. RIP Guy.
