Guillermo “Memo” Escobedo Jr.. 49 of Milwaukee, WI., passed away unexpectedly July 12, 2025

Guillermo “Memo” Escobedo was a son, brother, uncle, and friend to so many people. Memo loved his family. He was especially kind to all his nieces and nephews, he was determined to be the best Uncle and the kids all loved him! Memo loved wrestling, music, shopping and photography. He spent a-lot of time collecting wrestling memorabilia and working on his custom wrestling belt. He loved shopping and picking up small gifts for all of his nieces and nephews. One of his biggest enjoyments was taking pictures with family and friends. Whenever he saw a familiar face, he'd take the opportunity to capture the moments in photos. He recently enjoyed one of his favorite holidays 4th of July and spent the night lighting off all his fireworks. He is joining his brothers Jose and Pedro in heaven, we will miss him deeply but knowing he is with his siblings brings some comfort to our hearts.
