Personal Life
Guerrero was born in Ray, Arizona to a family of migrant workers. He attended school in the United States until the age of nine when his mother died. His family moved to Mexico, and Guerrero's father used his English language skills to work as an interpreter in Guadalajara.
Guerrero's wife Herlinda was the sister of wrestler Enrique Llanes. They married in 1947. They had six children: four sons Chavo, Mando, Hector, Eddie, and two daughters, Mary and Linda.
After retiring from active wrestling, Guerrero sold auto insurance. Guerrero would also open his home to aspiring wrestlers, training them in the backyard in an old ring. As of 2005, the ring was still in the family house's backyard. Two weeks before his death, Guerrero's liver crashed and he developed cirrhosis due to hepatitis.
