Jose Amando

Guerra

Jose Amando Guerra passed away on the morning of September 4, 2021, at the age of 83 in Harlingen, Texas.  He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Gloria Guerra, their children, Juan Jesus (Jesse) Guerra, Maria de Lourdes (Lulu) Cisneros, Felix Amando Guerra, Veronica Delgado, Noel Guerra, and Noemi Vela, and siblings, Armandina Cuellar and Eli Guerra Sr.  He is predeceased by his siblings Emma Edwards, Valentina Cavazos, and Zaragoza Guerra, Jr., and his parents Adelaida Escobar and Zaragoza Guerra.

Jose Amando was born in Alice, Texas on April 15, 1938, to Zaragoza and Adelaida Guerra.  He was a proud veteran of the United States Army.  In August of 1962, he married the love of his life, Gloria, and together they welcomed six children and 18 grandchildren, all of whom he loved and cared for deeply.

Jose Amando was a devoted father, and a hard worker all his life. Just like the elephant that he admired, he was a majestic and steadfast figure amongst his family.  He took immense pride in his work and in being a husband, father, and grandfather. He was a problem solver who often took on projects at home and in the workplace. He was an especially intelligent and creative man; he designed and built the home that he raised his six children in with his devoted wife, from the ground up.  He had a kind heart and was loved and respected by all who knew him. He will be deeply missed by his friends and family.
