Publish in a newspaper
Francisco was born on February 11, 1949 in Primera, TX to the late Enrique and Charlota (Ybarra) Guzman, Sr. He is also preceded in death by his granddaughter, Alysen Sanchez; sisters, Gloria Sanchez and Eva Doria; and brothers, Enrique Guzman, Jr., and Manuel Cardenas.
Left to cherish the memory of Francisco is his loving wife, Connie Guzman; children, Francisco (Rebecca) Guzman, Michael (Amy) Sanchez, Lorissa (Mitchell) Michalski, Fabian Guzman and Francisca Guzman; 9 grandchildren; and several great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
Francisco was a self-employed truck driver. He played the guitar with Los Hermanos Bueno for several years. He enjoyed metal detecting, and loved to joke around with those around him. Most of all he loved visiting close friends and family.

Although we knew it was coming, it's hard to believe you're really gone. We will miss your loving smile & kind heart. You will always be my father in law, no matter what. Ethan loved & adored his grandpa so much, & you will always hold a special place in his heart. It broke our hearts to see you in pain, but you are now at peace with our Lord.
Love,
Michelle & Ethan
