Sergio Merida Guzman

Sergio Merida Guzman, 79, passed away on January 2, 2017 at Community North Hospital in Indianapolis. He was born on September 9, 1937 in Robore, Bolivia to parents, Arturo Guzman Fuentes and Modesta Merida Surubi, and later moved to Brazil. He married and then moved to the United States in 1978, and continued his work as a master tailor in Indianapolis.
Sergio was the consummate entrepreneur, enjoyed dancing and singing to Julio Iglesias, loved playing/teaching soccer to all ages and spoke three languages. Throughout his 40 year career, not only did he own two tailor shops in Indianapolis, he also co-owned three restaurants in Carmel. He was always full of surprises, and saw the silver lining in many situations.
Sergio is survived by his wife, Roxana Guzman; his children, Robin Guzman (wife, Claudia and daughter, Thatiana), Roseli Valladares (children, Luis, Gabriella & Kevin), Pura Ruth Aguirre Jimenez (children, Fernando y Sergio Andres), Helena (Eric Field) Guzman, Jennifer Howell (husband, Chris and children, Tristyn, Lilliana, Jillian, & Emmalyn); and his siblings, Marilena Guzman (children, Eduardo & Sandra), Alfonso Guzman Merida (wife, Eurydice and daughter, Sheyla), Olga de Oliveira (and her son, Eder), and Leonardo Francisco de Oliveira (wife, Ana and children, Renata & Leila).
A visitation will be held from 2pm to 5pm on Sunday, January 8, 2017 at Randall & Roberts Fishers Mortuary, 12010 Allisonville Rd, Fishers, IN.
