Eddie Guerrero died Nov. 13, 2005, at age 38. Guerrero won several championships during his career and became the first Mexican American to win the WWE Championship in February 2004, according to WWE.

Guerrero’s daughter, Sherilyn Guerrero, also remembered her father in a Facebook post. Alongside a childhood photo, Sherilyn Guerrero recalled everyday memories with her father, including playing Madden, watching movies together and putting on concerts for her parents.

“The man you were to everyone was more than that of the man at home I knew that my sisters and I called dad,” Sherilyn Guerrero wrote.
