Raul Guerrero Obituary
He is survived by his loving wife, Alicia, proud children, Emiliano, Alma Linda, Adelita, and Vanessa, and admiring grandchildren, Donte, Jasmine, Gavin, Ava and Audrey.
Raul proudly served his country in the U.S. Army from 1962 to 1965. He was talented enough to play for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1965 and viciously defended Hispanic civil rights by founding the organization C.R.U.C.I.A.L. and his service with the Brown Berets in Odessa, Texas. For years, Raul silently endured the trials of his illness to continue on for his family.
Raul was 62, born in Pecos, Texas, in 1945, and also leaves behind his mother, stepfather, 2 brothers, 3 sisters, and 30 nieces and nephews.
Rosary took place Wednesday, November 21st, at 7:00 p.m. at Sunset Northwest Funeral Home, with burial services on Friday at 9:30 a.m. at St. Luke's Catholic Church in San Antonio.

To Raul's family, I met Raul when I visited Pecos during the Raza Unida Party era and I recall his commitment and love of Raza. I then remember seeing him again here in San Antonio where he continued his civil rights work. After a few years we lost touch but I do recall him speaking of his love of his family and always his commitment to Raza. Que en paz descanse--Raul Guerrero, PRESENTE!
