Augustine ‘Augie’ Guajardo III

Augustine ‘Augie’ Guajardo III, our beloved husband, son, father, grandfather, brother, and friend was called to be with the Lord on April 17, 2025 at the age of 64.
Augie, a dedicated hardworking man, faithful Catholic whose heart was larger than anyone we knew, was the embodiment of a gentleman. He was devoted to his family and his church. Born on October 8, 1960, in San Antonio. When he was brought home, he fit into a shoe box and grew into a man who was loved and respected by all that knew him.
He was raised on his family’s ranch, where he played with the many family dogs, which he loved deeply. His parents instilled in him the values of deep faith, hard work, and commitment to family.
Augie graduated from Southwest High School, where he was an outstanding athlete lettering in many sports. His strength was in football, where he earned the nickname ‘’the snake” for his ability to weave through the field as a running back. His entire family – parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins – would travel near and far to see him play. His giving heart and friendly nature earned him countless friends and the titles of homecoming king, class favorite, and prom king.
Augie is survived by his loving wife of twenty-five years, Debbie Guajardo; mother, Isabel; children, Paul (Susy), David (Gregory), Christa (Addison); grandchildren, Kylie, Sophie, Skylar, Devin, Evelyn, and Charles; siblings, Yvonne Gutierrez (Alex), David, Sebastian (Xavier), Delfino (Patricia), aunts and uncle, Delfino and Janie Saucedo, Gloria Saucedo, and Dolores Guajardo; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, Augustin Guajardo Jr. and his grandparents.
Throughout his life, Augie was a faithful and devoted member of the Catholic Church. He was a member of Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church, where he served as an altar boy in his youth. He was a hard worker and held jobs at numerous groceries; ultimately, he proudly worked at Sam’s Warehouse for over 35 years, where he was awarded numerous recognitions.
Visitation was Wednesday, April 23, 2025 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Tondre-Guinn Funeral Home with the Holy Rosary recited at 5:30 p.m. The Mass of Christian Burial was at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 24, 2025 at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in La Coste.
