Jose "Odilon" Guerrero

Jose “Odilon” Guerrero, a beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away on September 2, 2023, at his residence in Damon, Texas. He was born on December 18, 1940, in San Jose de Ojo Zarco, Guanajuato, Mexico to Pablo Guerrero Guerra and Maria de Socorro Guerrero Lopez.

After marriage, he brought his family to the United States, and eventually settled down in Damon, TX. He worked at Brazos Citrus Nursery (formerly Varner Creek Nursery) for 25 years.
