Jose Guajardo. Sr.

of North Little Rock, AR

January 10, 1956 - March 17, 2026

Jose ''Joe'' Guajardo was born on January 10, 1956, in England, AR. He passed on March 17, 2026. He spent part of his younger years growing up in Chicago, where he met and married the love of his life, Victoria Guajardo. They settled in North Little Rock, AR. And together they made a life centered on family, love, and hard work.

Joe was never afraid of work. In his younger years, he did many different jobs. He shined shoes, worked in factories, and even picked cotton alongside his father and uncles. Through determination and dedication, he built a career as a master plumber and eventually owned his own plumbing company.

Joe was preceded in death by his parents; Salomon Ramos Guajardo and Dolores Moreno Guajardo, along with many beloved uncles, aunts, and family.

He is survived by his wife, Victoria Guajardo, his son Jose Guajardo Jr. (4 children), his daughters Sheila Guajardo Urena married to Mike Urena (3 children), Angie Guajardo with Randal Soto (6 children), and Eva Guajardo Solis married to Jimmy Solis (4 children), his 3 great grandchildren, and his siblings; Salomon Guajardo (Maria), Oscar Guajardo (Chela), Slyvia Guajardo Maxwell (Vince), and David Guajardo (Denise).

My condolences to the family all I can say is Joe was a great friend of my cousins and my family. He was the type of person that would be ready to help whom ever he could. He had such a big heart. He always asked how was everyone doing here in Chicago and always asked for my dad and to say hello to him and all my family. He will be missed. May God give his wife and all of his family the strength and peace they all need at this difficult time and May our Heavenly Father give Joe eternal rest and peace.๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

I'm grateful to have met Joe and his entire family. Joe had a million great qualities and gifts. But, the ones that stood out to me were his youthfulness, (always ready to play baseball, basketball, kickball, any sport with the youngsters and win! Super competitive yet super energetic and fun to be around) his generosity, (always willing to lend an hand and his time to others no matter the day) he had such a genuine soul and an infectious smile that could light up a room (especially when telling a good storyโ€ฆ Rest in peace Joe. You will be greatly missed!

Joe was a great person back in early 1970 I remember riding with him and his charger going down the street try to make a left. Turn ran into a building. It was a funny one. One Saturday night he took these people back to Sterling, Illinois me and my brother Jim and on the way back to Chicago he ran out of oil so we had a walk 10 miles and somebody finally picked us up about 4 o'clock in the morning helped us with some oil and that was a long night but a great night Lots of laughs We used to play a lot of softball back in day in Chicago. Lotta fun memories, even though we live a far distance I will miss you, my brother.โค๏ธ๐ŸŒน
