James A.
Guarnero

Guarnero, James A.

Joined his late father Arturo “Chino” Guarnero in Eternal Life May 7th, 2021 at the age of 33.

Adored son of Karen Guarnero.  Loving father of Arianna, Amaiyah, Jr, Jaelyn, Maelani, Kinng, and Giannah.  Devoted fiancé of Lina Rivera.  Beloved brother of Arturo Jr, the late Lori, Barney, Fernando, Rogelio “Rocky”, Sophia, Tanya (Nathan).  Ex-wife and friend Nicole.  Also joins the late Jamie Stier.  Further survived by numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends.

James was the life of the party and will be remembered for his laugh and sense of humor.  He had a natural charisma and could strike up a conversation with anyone.  James loved playing practical jokes and was rarely known to be serious; his ability to light up a room will be forever missed.  He was a devoted father to all his children who will carry on his legacy and his memory will be kept alive by all his loved ones.

Visitation to take place Sunday May 16th, 2021 from 2-4pm at HERITAGE FUNERAL HOME (16880 W. National Ave, New Berlin) with a funeral service and time of sharing to begin at 4pm.

Memorials appreciated to the family for funeral expenses.

Until we meet again, remember the good times.

“ Keep clownin’ ”     -James

    Sending my sincere condolences to all of James’s loved ones, especially the ones that held him so dearly to their hearts. I remember meeting James when he was 11 years old, my first real encounter with him was, him running home to get his mom to snitch on us for hanging out with boys😂 This kid literally stood on a meter tank to peep in the window of the house to catch us…lol What once started as my friends annoying little brother (that couldn’t get into rated R movies) slowly became my best friends husband and the father of their daughters- including my God Daughter Maelani. If there is one thing I know for sure it was how crazy he was over his kids. No matter what curveballs life through his way, he never skipped a beat in their lives and for that I will always love him❤️ My heart is so broken for your girls, Nicole, Karen, Tanya (and family) and all of your loved ones, please watch over them and continue to protect them, like you always have.

    It’s an awful feeling not knowing your siblings like you should. It’s been over 20 years since we last saw one another. Looking at your picture you’re such a handsome young man. Your smile is contagious and it’s obvious that you’re an expert at making others happy. I’m sorry lil brother. Sorry for not being the big brother I was suppose to be. It’s moments like this when we realize what’s missing in our lives. Now it’s too late for me to appreciate your sense of humor or other goofy trait you may have. However, I’ll never forget the times I did have as your big brother. I remember the times me, you and Tanya spent flying up and down the street on my motorcycle. I’ve missed so much of your life. It’s so sad you leaving at such an early age. The only comfort is knowing that you, Lori, and Dad get to enjoy Grandma Guarnero’s cooking once again.
    Love you little brother.

    10 months have passed.. it’s past midnight and I came across your face while on my phone.. I still can’t believe you’re gone. It will never be real to me. I know our lives took different paths but I never stopped loving you or wanting the best for you. Our daughters miss you so much and it’s so hard for me to comfort them when I will never have the right words to take their pain away. James I miss you so much. In the end, you were my best friend- and I will forever cherish the memories we made over our 23 years. Me and the girls love you- and I can’t wait to see you again someday ❤️
