Francisco Guerrero, 54, of Imperial passed away on Tuesday, June 2, 2020.
He was born on April 14, 1966 in Brawley, CA.
Kico had a love for architecture and was employed as a draftsmen for over 20 y ears. However, many in the community knew him for his passion for music. Beginning his DJ career since his early high school y ears, he eventually started his own company Desert Prosound and Lighting serving the Imperial County for many years. He enjoyed the sport of baseball rooting for the San Diego Padres and yet supporting his daughter’s love f or the opposing team the Los Angeles Dodgers. Recently, this past year he signed up to be the assistant coach on his daughter’s s oftball team, Desert Force for Imperial Valley Girls Softball League (IVGSL). Kico was a loving and caring family man. A devoted husband and father. The funny Uncle who loved spending time with his nieces and nephews. Never a dull moment. He inherited his comedic traits from his father, Armando, who always r eferred to him as “El Principe” aka “The Prince” as he was his only son. His spontaneity and silly jokes always brought joy and laughter to those around him. He had a big heart and always supported his family, friends and the community. Kico w as full of life with so much more to give. A kind and loving soul gone to soon leaving an emptiness in our hearts that can never be filled. We will love y ou and cherish you always.
