A loving son, grandson, brother, uncle and friend, Benny Nathaniel Guajardo, IV went to be with the Lord on February 4, 2022, at the age of 20. He was born on November 23, 2001 in San Antonio, TX. He is preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Benny Guajardo, II; step-grandfather, Andres Ybarra, Sr. and maternal great-grandfather, Rodolfo Vela. Benny is survived by his loving parents, Leslie and Andrew Ybarra and Benny Guajardo, III; maternal grandparents, Sandra Vela and Xavier Lucio; paternal grandmother, Mary Jane Guajardo; step-grandmother, Paula Ybarra; maternal great-grandmother, Dora Vela; maternal great-grandparents, Celestino and Elvira Lucio; siblings, Alyssa Ybarra, Aaliyah Ybarra, Ashley Ramos (Filo), Andy Ybarra (Gabby), Anthony Ybarra (Jovi) and Alex Acuna; nephews, Zayden, KT, Cameron and Tyler; aunts and uncles, Lawrence Lucio, Gary Guajardo, Pauline Ybarra and Mercy Ybarra; cousins, Hennessy Vela, Alize Vela, Gabriela Guajardo and Jayven Guajardo, and other extended family members. Those who knew Nathan, knew that he had a huge spirit that was full of joy, loudness, and lots of energy. Like many young boys, Nathan most enjoyed playing outside, especially on the trampoline where he never grew tired of. He loved going to Sea World, playing catch with his sisters and loved his car rides around town. Nathan was obsessed with the movie, “Shrek” and could watch it from sunrise to sundown. To say Nathan had a favorite dish was not easy as he enjoyed everything on his plate and loved to eat! Nathan will always be remembered by his beautiful smile, energetic presence, his unreserved kisses, and his needing to grab and pull you or anything on you characteristic. Everyone knew to keep their glasses on tight or to get around him carefully and strategically so that he wouldn’t take you down. Although Nathan was not able to speak, he was able to say his one and only favorite word, “MOM”. Nathan if able to, could pull all-nighters, however, he was mostly known for waking up very early even before the roosters could crow. He was big for dancing and jumping to music but was notoriously known for yelling to get everyone’s attention. Nathan will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him. Visitation will be on Sunday, February 20, 2022 from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. with a Prayer Service to begin at 6:00 p.m. at Mission Park Funeral Chapels South. Funeral Service will be on Monday, February 21, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. at Mission Park South. Interment to follow at Mission Burial Park South.
