Guadalupe Guerra

Guadalupe Guerra, a cherished family man, passed away on November 8, 2024, in San Antonio, Texas, at the age of 76. Born on December 12, 1947, in Los Ángeles Tamaulipas, Guadalupe's journey was one marked by determination, love, and an unwavering commitment to his family.

Guadalupe's life was a testament to his strength and vision. He brought his family to the United States from Mexico, seeking a brighter future. Through hard work and perseverance, he established a successful construction business that not only built structures but also a solid foundation for his family's dreams. Guadalupe was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, whose children and grandchildren would proudly say, "My Daddy can," knowing he could solve any problem that came their way.

He is survived by his loving wife, Dora Guerra; his siblings, Javier Guerra of Houston, TX, Roel Guerra of Mission, TX, Gerardo Guerra of San Antonio, TX, Anabel Guerra of Mission, TX, and Joel Guerra of Mission, TX. Guadalupe was a guiding light for his children, Dora Wilford (Clint) of Poteet, TX, Jose Guerra of Louisiana, Diana Guerra of San Antonio, TX, and Sonia Guerra (Raymundo) of San Antonio, TX. His legacy continues through his cherished grandchildren, Joe Jonathan Sanchez III of Colorado, Timothy J. Sanchez of San Antonio, TX, Joshua Jose Guerra of Lafayette, LA, Charles Clinton Wilford of Poteet, TX, Megan Adele Wilford of Poteet, TX, Katalina Campos, and Kamila Campos, and his adored great-granddaughter, Aurora Rose Sanchez.

Guadalupe's life was filled with laughter and practical wisdom. He was the embodiment of the words loving, funny, and handy. His ability to fix everything was not just a skill but a metaphor for his approach to life's challenges. He faced each obstacle with a joke and a smile, ensuring that his family always felt secure and loved. His priority was his family, and he instilled in them the values of unity, hard work, and humor.

His impact extended beyond the walls of his home and into the community, where his reputation as a reliable and skilled craftsman earned him respect and admiration. Guadalupe's hands shaped more than buildings; they molded the lives of those around him, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of family, friends, and colleagues.

As we bid farewell to Guadalupe Guerra, we celebrate a life rich in joy, accomplishment, and love. His stories will continue to be told, his laughter will echo in our memories, and his legacy will live on through the lives of those he touched. Guadalupe's journey may have come to a close, but the blueprint of his life's work will stand as a lasting reminder of a man who built a life worth emulating.

His was a life well-lived, and he will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
