Guadalupe was a quiet man who enjoyed working with his hands, planting and cultivating everything green, and ran his Landscaping business for almost 60 years, finally retiring in January of 2014. He read the Bible daily, and memorized many passages, Psalm 23, being one of his favorite. Guadalupe enjoyed writing songs and listening to Mexican music in his spare time. He enjoyed watching western and war movies, as well as war documentaries. Guadalupe preferred staying in and firing up the BBQ instead of going out . He also began raising chickens after retiring, spending hours in the back yard, and had even named all 27 of them. Guadalupe's favorite past time was doting over his Grandchildren, of course, and loved having everyone over for the Holidays, especially Easter.

The Asencio Family would like to thank everyone for their warm condolences.

Guadalupe's Memorial was lovingly created by his children, and is forever in our hearts. We love you Dad, until we meet again...
