Cruz Guevara Jr, 76, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, April 27, 2023, at his residence in San Antonio, Texas. He was born on May 21, 1946, in Harlingen Texas a son of the late Maria Paz Tovar and Cruz Guevara Sr.

Cruz was always a friendly man who could make connections and lasting impressions with his ability to connect with anyone who crossed his path. He enjoyed moments of reflection and often took long walks where he could think about his family's future, remember the past, or get closer to the Lord in conversation. He enjoyed meals with those close to him and his favorite place to eat at was Las Palmas Mexican Restaurant. Cruz will be loved forever; a father, grandfather, and brother who will be remembered forever until we all are reunited once again.
