He died at the age of 51 in August of 1989 after a two month battle with cancer. However, according to his son Jim Guinn, Jr., president of Guinn Investments, Inc, "I still hear stories 16 years later of the effect of Dad's commitment to his Christian faith and business principles in the oilfield. My goal since taking over has been to successfully continue the same standard of excellence." Guinn Investments, Inc has been blessed with an excellent support team of geologists, geophysicists, land men, title attorneys, and production and office managers over the years, which allows it to compete effectively with a streamlined staff.

Jim Guinn, Jr. continues to oversee all operations in his 16th year as president of Guinn Investments, Inc "I am still fascinated with the oil and gas business and learn something new practically everyday, " commented Guinn. "We appreciate our educated, loyal group of investors which allows us to patiently pursue the development and drilling of quality prospects."
