Robert “George” Guerrero, age 83, of Holland, passed away on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of love, memories, and the many people whose lives he touched.
George was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Armida, a loving father and a proud and adoring grandfather. Family was at the heart of George’s life, and nothing brought him greater happiness than being surrounded by the people he loved.
George was a hard worker and took great pride in everything he did. After a stint at General Electric, he dedicated 50 years of his professional life to the real estate business. He approached his work with the same determination and dedication that he brought to every part of his life.
But George was never defined by his work. He was a man who loved being busy, useful, and involved. To George, relaxation often meant rolling up his sleeves and finding something to do. Whether working on a project at home or at the family cottage up north, he always seemed to have a project underway. He had a knack for running errands, solving problems, and making sure things got done. His family will fondly remember his willingness to help and his ability to turn even the simplest task into an opportunity to spend time together.
One of George’s greatest joys was coaching his children’s soccer and softball teams. He loved being there on the field, encouraging his kids to work hard, believe in themselves, and always give their best. His presence as a coach was about much more than sports—it was another way he showed his children how much he loved them and how proud he was of them.
George also had a deep love for animals and nature. His dog, Caycee, held a special place in his heart, and he cherished time spent outdoors. He found happiness in the simple pleasures of life and in the moments shared with family, friends, and the animals he loved.
Music was another important part of George’s life. He was a talented drummer with his band, Ambush, and his love of music brought energy and joy to those around him. Through music he created countless memories that his family and friends will carry with them for years to come.
George will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Armida Guerrero; his children: Gina and Tom Nilsen, Robert and Diana Guerrero; grandchildren: Lumen, Charlie, Ryan and Owen; and his many nieces, nephews and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents and all seven of his siblings.
George’s leaves behind a beautiful legacy of love, dedication, laughter, hard work, and family. He will be remembered for his generous heart, his willingness to lend a hand, his love of a good project, his enthusiasm for music and the outdoors, and most of all, for the love he gave his family.
His family will miss his presence, his stories, his sense of purpose, and simply having him there. Though he is no longer with us, the love he shared and the memories he created will remain in the hearts of those who knew him.
George’s life was a gift to his family, and his memory will be cherished always.
