Guadalupe was born on September 13, 1945, in Kyle, Texas. He was a very kind and generous man with a contagious laugh and a great sense of humor. He was incredibly family-oriented and cherished spending time playing outside with his grandchildren, and later with his great-grandsons. Lupe had a sweet tooth and enjoyed giving candy to all his grandchildren.
In his career, Lupe was the proud owner of a cabinet shop for 32 years. He always took great pride in his work and was known for his craftsmanship and dedication.
Lupe was preceded in death by his father, Ruperto; mother, Eloisa; sister, Epifania; and brother, Luis.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his memory will forever live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
