It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Tracy Jeff Guido on December 27, 2024, at the age of 49. Jeff was a son, grandson, husband, father, brother, uncle, friend, and mentor, and a proud Yurok tribal member.

Jeff was born on April 16, 1975 to Joanne Moore and Wallace Guido in Portland, Oregon. As a young child, he could be found laughing and playing with his older sister and cousins during summers in Hoopa at the home of their grandmother Awok Violet Moore, who had a big influence on him. He enjoyed camping, football, and monster truck shows.

Jeff was incredibly resilient and overcame adversity by embracing his Yurok culture. He graduated from College of the Redwoods with a degree in substance use counseling. He worked with Native youth at risk in Humboldt County, teaching them to take the Red Road to healing and healthy living, guided by the ways of our ancestors.

He loved participating in traditional dances and was a beautiful singer. He also loved fishing and sharing smoked salmon with friends and family. Throughout his life, he was a role model for many, including his nephew and cousins. He had a heart of gold and a kind, gentle, old soul.

Jeff was preceded in death by his grandparents, Awok Haynes Moore and Awok Violet Moore, his uncle Awok Arnold Moore, his aunts Awok Betty Jackson and Awok Carol DeLaRosa, and cousin Awok Carl Snyder.

Jeff is survived by his mother, Joanne Moore, older sister Joice Moore, niece Isabella Violet Davis, nephew Nicolas Jessen Davis, wife Yvonne Lynn Guido, daughter Trinity Cheyenne Newsom, son Albert Atlas Lewis, grandson James Micah Holt, granddaughter Jamie Lynn Sanders, and bonus daughter Kimora VenPelt. Jeff is also survived by his uncle Bert Snyder and aunt Vivian Snyder, along with his aunt Barbara Orcutt. In addition, Jeff is survived by countless cousins who loved and adored him.

A service will be at the Pecwan family cemetery in Pecwan at 12:30 p.m. on January 4, 2025, followed by a shared meal at the Libby Nix Building in Weitchpec.

Jeff’s life in this world was far too short for those who knew and loved him, but he will be greeted by those who passed before him with loving arms. We will forever hold him close to our hearts.
