Michael J "Mick" Guerin Jr., MD

April 2, 1942 - August 24, 2020

Michael J. Guerin, Jr. MD, known by family and friends as Mick, passed away in Helena, MT in his home peacefully at 78 years old. Mick grew up in Omaha, NE. He graduated from Creighton Preparatory High School, he attended University of Montana, graduated from University of Nebraska with a medical degree, and did his residency at University of Kansas Medical Center. Mick was an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist and a Head and Neck Surgeon. He practiced in Tyndall, SD, Longview, WA, Pueblo, CO, and Huron, SD. He had three children, Michael, Kevin, and Nettie, and he was so proud of them. He had nine grandchildren that he loved – even from a distance. Mick had one great grandchild who made him laugh. His wife, Ann, was his heart and soul. Mick lived life to the fullest! He loved to hunt and fish, and he taught his skills to his children. They will continue the sports with him watching from above! He was happiest when following big-running bird-dogs through big open country. Mick enjoyed fishing bonefish in the Florida Keys – his favorite was “tailer at twilight”. He was happiest in the outdoors! Mick loved his wife, Ann, the most of everything in life. She was at his side traveling, hunting, fishing, planting trees, redecorating houses, and whatever else he decided to do. They were married 57 years and rarely apart. Mick is survived by his wife, Ann Marie Guerin, two sons, Michael J (Bridgette) Guerin III of Big Pine Key, FL, Kevin Michael (Bridget) Guerin of Helena, MT, and a daughter, Nettie Marie Guerin of Lake Isabella, MI. His grandchildren, Loren (Evan) Barrett, Elle Marie Guerin, Gage Guerin, Gunner Guerin, Morgan Bussler, Maddox Bussler, Hani Socolovitch, and Maizy Socolovitch. One great granddaughter, Kalista Barrett. He is preceded in death by his parents, Michael and Josephine Guerin, his parents-in-law, Leo and Ann Manthei, long-time friends, and many beloved hunting dogs. His grandson, Miles Bussler, was waiting to greet him at heaven’s door. Due to Covid-19 we will not have a funeral at this time, but we will be planning a Celebration of Life in the near future.
