Guillermo Horacio Bravo

March 15, 1939 — July 1, 2023

Guillermo Horacio Bravo, 84 years, of Tega Cay, SC and formerly of Michigan and Florida, entered into rest on Saturday, July 1, 2023. He was born March 15, 1939, in Cali, Colombia, son of the late Teofilo and Adela Bravo.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his siblings: Julio, Blanca, Isabel, Rosaura, Zoila, Calixto, Victor, Benjamin, and Pedro.

Guillermo spent 33 years at Chrysler Corporation as a “stock chaser”, driving a hi-lo to bring parts to the assembly line.

Always smiling and joking, Guillermo lived life to the fullest. He always had a one-liner to get people laughing, right up until the very end. He was extremely adventurous. Perhaps his most memorable adventure was his 5-month trek from Cali, Colombia to Detroit Michigan at 21 years with his life-long friend, Felix.

Most important to him was spending time with family and friends. He loved to entertain. Hosting parties where there was always plenty to drink and some to eat, lots of music and dancing. Guillermo was always up for a game night. He especially enjoyed playing poker.

Staying fit was also a priority for Guillermo. He would walk or ride his bike and would retire to the sauna, steam room or hot tub.

Survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Nora; daughter and son-in-law, Sandra and Silvio Savo of Tega Cay, SC.; son and daughter-in-law, Edwin and Leigh-Ann Bravo of Northville, Michigan; five grandchildren, Maurizio Savo, Lorenzo Savo, Emelia Bravo, Lauren Bravo and Daniel Bravo; and siblings Juan and Ana.

A Celebration of life service will be held by the family at Palmetto Funeral Group in Fort Mill, SC on Monday, July 3 at 3:00 p.m. It will be livestreamed.

The family would like to extend their sincere appreciation to all the assisted living and hospice nurses, CNAs, physicians and staff for their exceptional care and kindness.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association ( https://act.alz.org/site/Donation ).

Guillermo Horacio Bravo, de 84 años, de Tega Cay, SC y anteriormente de Michigan y Florida, entró en descanso el sábado 1 de julio de 2023. Nació el 15 de marzo de 1939 en Cali, Colombia, hijo del fallecido Teófilo y Adela Bravo.

Además de sus padres, le precedieron en la muerte sus hermanos: Julio, Blanca, Isabel, Rosaura, Zoila, Calixto, Víctor, Benjamín y Pedro.

Guillermo pasó 33 años en la Corporación Chrysler como un fabricante " Stock Chaser", conduciendo un hi-lo para llevar piezas a la línea de ensamblaje.

Siempre sonriendo y bromeando, Guillermo vivió la vida al máximo. Siempre tenía una frase para hacer reír a la gente, hasta el final. Era extremadamente aventurero. Quizás su aventura más memorable fue su viaje de 5 meses desde Cali, Colombia a Detroit, Michigan, a los 21 años con su amigo de toda la vida, Félix.

Lo más importante para él era pasar tiempo con su familia y amigos. Le encantaba entretener. Organizar fiestas donde siempre había mucho para beber y algo para comer, mucha música y baile. Guillermo siempre estaba dispuesto a una noche de juegos. Le gustaba especialmente jugar al póker.

Mantenerse en forma también fue una prioridad para Guillermo. Caminaba o andaba en bicicleta y se retiraba a la sauna, al baño de vapor o a la bañera de hidromasaje.

Le sobreviven su amada esposa de 56 años, Nora; hija y yerno, Sandra y Silvio Savo de Tega Cay, SC.; hijo y nuera, Edwin y Leigh-Ann Bravo de Northville, Michigan; cinco nietos, Maurizio Savo, Lorenzo Savo, Emelia Bravo, Lauren Bravo y Daniel Bravo; y los hermanos Juan y Ana.

La familia llevará a cabo un servicio de celebración de vida en Palmetto Funeral Group en Fort Mill, SC el lunes 3 de julio a las 3:00 p.m. Será transmitido en vivo.

La familia desea extender su sincero agradecimiento a todas las enfermeras de vida asistida y de hospicio, CNA, médicos y personal por su excepcional cuidado y amabilidad.

En lugar de flores, se pueden hacer donaciones conmemorativas a la Asociación de Alzheimer ( https://act.alz.org/site/Donation ).
