Edward Guerra

Edward Riojas Guerra, age 94, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Saturday, June 21, 2025. Eddie, as he was known, was born on April 15, 1931, in Lockhart, Texas to Pablo and Juanita Guerra. Eddie was the second of seven children and was the last surviving brother of his family. Eddie was married to the love of his life, Tomasa “Tommie” (Mojica) Guerra on November 7, 1950. They shared 75 years together and had five children. Eddie was an accomplished businessman and owner of Airport Heating & Air Conditioning for 65 years. He was honored to work alongside family and friends. Eddie came to love playing baseball because his dad loved it and played every chance he had. He played with the Aztecas. As he got older, baseball was no longer an option, but he still wanted to play so he transitioned into fastpitch softball. At one point in his career, he managed a slow-pitch team where he played with his sons and son-in-law. He played in his last tournament at the age of 92. In 2004, he was inducted into the Rusk Athletic Club Hall of Fame and in 2020, inducted into the Pan Am Softball Hall of Honor. He also enjoyed playing golf with his sons, grandchildren and friends. He is survived by his wife, Tommie Guerra, five children Phillip (Mary) Guerra, Edward Jr. (Debe) Guerra, Cindy (Ceasar) Solis, Raymond (Dona) Guerra, and Michael (Denise) Guerra. Eight grandchildren: Eddie (Kristin) Guerra, Sasha Guerra, Crystal (Chris) Navarro, Chris Solis, Sarah Guerra, Lauren (Lorne) Hodges, Aidan Guerra, and Ashley Guerra. He was also blessed with seven great-grandchildren Elias Govea, Natalie Navarro, Gabriella Navarro, Emma Navarro, Christiana Navarro, Frost Hodges, and Dottie Hodges. Siblings: Josie Carlin, Dolores Guerra and Annie Cavazos. Eddie was preceded in death by his parents, Pablo and Juanita Guerra; his sister, Pauline Geiger; brothers, Benny Guerra, and Ernest Guerra. The family would like to extend their thanks and appreciation to the Hospice staff Brian, Naiviav, and Luis for the excellent care they gave their father. The family would also like to express their sincere love and gratitude to all the prayers and well wishes received on his behalf. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly request donations be made to St. Julia Catholic Church in his memory. Dad, you are deeply loved, and you will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace.
