Domingo Portales Guevara

Domingo Portales Guevara, age 94, of Tucson, Arizona went to be with our Lord and join his loving wife, Maria Belen on Wednesday, April 10, 2024. Domingo was born in Pozos, San Luis Potosi, Mexico, to Jose Carmen Guevara and Andrea Portales Guevara, who preceded him in death. Domingo was one of three children, sister Juana Guevara (deceased) and surviving brother, Isidro Guevara.

Domingo was married to his beloved wife, Maria Belen, of 75 years. They are now joined together along with their five children who preceded them in death: Bernardino "Bernie" Guevara, Rosa Medeiros, Oscar Guevara, Edmundo "Mundo" Guevara, and Refugio Guevara. Domingo is survived by his three daughters Isabel Guevara Noel (Dave), Olga Niño, Frances Guevara Juarez (John), and son Domingo Jr “Sonny” Guevara. Domingo is further survived by twenty-one grandchildren, fifty-one great-grandchildren, and a few great-great grandchildren.

Our dad loved to walk and travel to his home country of Mexico every year to visit his brother and attend the St. Francis fiestas. He was still driving up until 3 weeks before he passed. He was a strong man with a mission. That mission was his family and making sure his children watched out for each other and supported one another. He lived and loved fiercely with an unmatched devotion as a father. He painted cars for a living having worked at Holmes Tuttle Ford and then Orielly Chevrolet, but he remained a Ford fan. He was great at gardening with a green thumb. He always felt the need to plant a tree or two at his kids homes whether they liked it or not. That was his way of showing his love and care.

Our dad will be greatly missed by all whom he would tell stories of his long life. He had a memory that was unmatched and could recall events of long ago. Dad, Mom we’ll see you in heaven when we all come back home. Until now, thank you for being such wonderful parents and giving us the legacy of love, devotion, and an unfailing resilience and respect for God! We love you!
