David Guerrero, a devoted dad, husband, brother, son, friend, and a deeply loved child of God gained his angel wings on Friday, March 7th, 2025, at the age of 46.
He was born in Cuero, Tx to the late Valdemar Guerrero and Amelia Guerrero of Yorktown, Tx on February 18, 1979. David was the youngest of four siblings: Don Guerrero, Mary Rubio (Chuy), and Nancy Guerrero.
David met the love of his life Debra underneath a tree in Victoria, Tx in September of 2002. David and Debra got married on November 3, 2007, and became Mr. and Mrs. Guerrero. They had a beautiful and cherished marriage of 18 years. Leaving behind his legacy is daughter Chrysta Longoria, her husband; Joshua Longoria and 3 sons Jacob Guerrero, Justin Guerrero, Johnathan Guerrero, his grandsons, Joshua Longoria, and Cayden Longoria.
David was a resident of Yorktown, Tx, where he discovered his love for music at the young age of 14. He was known for his ability to listen, manipulate and enhance audio for Tejano bands. This is where he discovered his passion for music. He looked forward to working side by side, teaching his nephews, Kenny Guerrero and Bryan Luker, everything he knew about being a sound engineer. After David’s difficult recovery road from his first stroke in 2015 he started focusing on his small business as a DJ with his son Johnny. He truly treasured these moments with his son.
David took great pride in his children. He loved cheering them on for every event they took part in. His favorite was by far watching his kids do powerlifting, the sport they all loved and partake in. His favorite thing was being able to gather with them and watch them lift at powerlifting meets. With his chest out and head up he would proudly take all credit saying, “my kids get their strength from me”. If he was not cheering on his children, he would cheer on his grandbabies. One of his greatest joys was becoming a grandparent to Joshua and Cayden.
He was a master at causing both smiles and groans simultaneously, which endeared him to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was stubborn, hardheaded, but had a heart of gold, willing to help anyone in need. David was known for his humor and creating inside jokes with those he loved. Throughout his hospital stays he loved to make the nurses and doctors laugh. On the weekend he loved sparking up the BBQ pit and took great pride in his chicken and fajitas. On David’s free time he enjoyed sitting outside enjoying the weather and his fur babies.
David is preceded in death by his father, Valdemar Guerrero; father-in-law, Rene Cantu.
He is survived by his wife Debra Guerrero; daughter, Chrysta Longoria (Joshua); sons, Jacob Guerrero, Justin Guerrero, and Johnathan Guerrero; grandsons, Joshua Longoria, and Cayden Longoria; mother, Amelia Guerrero; siblings, Don Guerrero, Mary Rubio (Chuy), and Nancy Guerrero; nephews that were almost like his sons, Kenny Guerrero and Bryan Luker; mother-in-law, Diana Cantu; sisters-in-law, Stacy Schaefer (Chris), and Anna Cantu; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
We have no doubt that David was greeted at the beautiful gates of heaven by his father whom he missed so much while here on earth.
