At age 10, Guy had his first encounter with true adversity when an accident forced an amputation of his left leg. Determined to never let that loss hold him back, he developed a streak of stubbornness and a desire to be successful. Guy said, “All you got to do is say you want to do it, you can try your best, and if you don’t succeed, you know you gave 100 percent.” He was a three-sport athlete, a musician, an actor, and worked just a little harder than everyone else to do the things he wanted. He would never complain or show weakness. In high school, he also developed horseman skills and was active with the Richardton Saddle Club, participating in team roping at regional rodeos. He always sat high in the saddle no matter what the circumstances.

The Guy Wilz Memorial Scholarship Fund was started by For the Future Sports founder Coach Mack Wilz in memoriam of his late father. The scholarship fund uses 100% of all proceeds to fund participation fees in leagues, events, and camps for young athletes who are currently overcoming hardship and adversity.
