The Guerrero family sits alongside the Harts, the AnoaŹ»i family, and the Vons Erichs in the upper echelon of wrestling royalty. Patriarch Gory Guerrero revolutionized Mexican lucha libre in the mid-twentieth century before passing the torch to sons Chavo Sr., Mando, Hector, and Eddie. When Eddie married Vickie Lara in 1990, the union quickly yielded two daughters, Shaul and Sherilyn. The family seemed firmly rooted in the travel-heavy routine of the American wrestling circuit.
During a difficult separation between Eddie and Vickie in the early 2000s, Eddie had a relationship with Tara Mahoney. In 2002, their daughter, Kaylie Marie Guerrero, was born. Eddie and Vickie later reconciled, resuming their marriage until Eddie's tragic death in November 2005. Despite the non-traditional family structure and the intense scrutiny of wrestling tabloids, Eddie made consistent efforts to remain actively involved in the lives of all three girls during his final years.
