Malichi "Kai" Eden Guyton, 42, of Centralia, WA and formerly of Rocky Point, NC passed away Thursday, November 7, 2024, at Providence Hospital in Centralia, WA.

Surviving are Kai's parents, Joseph "Joe" William Guyton and Ruth Baker Guyton; sister, Jennifer Dixon and husband, Bryce; nieces, Adriana Dixon and Dixie Dixon; nephew, Ebbo Dixon; close friend, Fynn; many extended family and friends.

Kai was a kind, caring, compassionate and loving person who was also a lover of all animals. Kai had a special dog and several cats that were near and dear. Kai had quite a  collection of "build a bears," even as an adult Kai still loved stuffed animals. Even though Kai lived across the United States in Washington State Kai was close in our hearts and prayers.
