Savas Rubio Guevara: March 21, 1949-Nov. 8, 2026

Savas Rubio Guevara, 77, passed away peacefully on the evening of November 8, 2026, in Kerrville, Texas. He was born on March 21, 1949, in Fredericksburg, Texas, the oldest child of Rebecca Rubio and Savas Castro Guevara. Savas was a longtime resident of Kerrville, where he spent most of his life.

He attended the Kerrville Special Opportunities Center and truly enjoyed his time there. Some of his favorite activities included going to the movies, taking trips to Luckenbach, and enjoying meals at local restaurants.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Rebecca; his father, Savas; and his brothers, Sylvester and Willie Guevara.

Savas is survived by his sister, Emma Pearl Guevara Cole; his brother, Raul Guevara; and Carl Straube; nieces and nephews, Keith, Monica, Raul, Candis, Angela, Cynthia, Carly, and Kendall; and great-nieces and great-nephews, Quentin, Daunte, Jojo, Anaya, and Cadence.

Savas was one of the sweetest, gentlest, and most patient men his family and friends could ever know. He loved everyone and had the kindest heart. He was always reminding those around him to “Be Careful.” At the end of each day, he made sure to say, “Good night, God Bless, and I will pray for you.” Those simple words reflected the love and thoughtfulness he shared so freely.

When he was younger, Savas always made sure his little sister, Pearl, never felt left out. He would take her to the movies and even chaperone her to father-daughter dances. Savas was an excellent dancer and loved music, especially country music. Whenever a favorite song came on, he would try to sing along, and if he didn’t know the words, he would happily clap along to the rhythm.

He also enjoyed a good Western movie, especially those starring John Wayne, as well as Bruce Lee karate movies.

Savas loved the outdoors and shared that passion with Pearl. If she found a bug and told him about it, he would know its name and what kind it was. He enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to the birds and watching the animals. He was also an excellent fisherman. He could spend hours sitting peacefully on the riverbank, whether he caught one fish or none at all, and be just as happy.

Although Savas married twice and did not have children of his own, he helped raise all of his nieces and nephews. His patience, gentle spirit, and loving nature made him a special part of their lives.

Savas will be remembered as a fabulous artist, a skilled fisherman, a loving brother, and a devoted uncle. Above all, he will be remembered for his gentle heart, beautiful smile, and the unconditional love he shared with everyone around him.

When Savas met his Maker, he did so with a big, beautiful smile. We find comfort in imagining him now, peacefully fishing along the banks of Heaven.
