Pedro Francisco Guzman

Pedro Francisco Guzman was born on January 28, 1989 in Kansas City, Missouri at St. Luke's Hospital. He was born into the family of Martha Ibarra and Francisco Guzman. Pedro was also known as "Piro". He was a part of the West Side community. Pedro had an excessively big heart, and he was very family oriented.

Pedro always loved spending time with his loved ones including his friends he considered family. There is nothing in this world he would not do for his family. He was a beautiful person always ready to forgive. Pedro loved nice cars with a loud beat. In which he owned a couple himself. His beat would be so loud cruising through the West Side, that you could hear his loud music playing from a mile away.

He was a Raiders fan from the time he was a young boy. He enjoyed spending his time watching movies, reading books, and listening to music. He was a good debater and negotiator. Ready to take on any problem head strong. Although he lived a hard life, he still made the best out of it.

Pedro accomplished many goals in life. He had many jobs over the course of his life, but his favorite places of employment were at Manny's Mexican Restaurant because his sister and Tio had once worked there & at Macy Concrete where he worked alongside his daughter’s grandpa as a laborer and was an official dog trainer. He received his GED in 2023 and dedicated his diploma to his daughter, and in the future was planning to get his mechanic license because he had a dream of owning his own car shop one day.

Pedro shared a loving daughter, Ava Lwren Guzman, with his longtime friend, Briana, and from the time Ava was born he did everything in his power to make his daughter happy and helped in giving her the life she deserved. They had an extraordinarily strong bond and beautiful connection. He devoted his life to her and loved her more than anything in this world and would never fail to show that.
