Andres Alejandro Gutierrez

Andres Alejandro Gutierrez, affectionately known as Andy, passed away on June 2, 2024, at the young age of 18. Andy was born on August 24, 2005, in Chula Vista, Ca, and was the cherished son of Brenda Crespo and Andres Gutierrez and the loving brother of Gigi, Johnny Araceli, Steven and stepsister Neveha. Andy will be deeply missed by his father, Andres Gutierrez, mother, Brenda Crespo, stepfather Steven Crespo, siblings, grandparents, and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who will miss him dearly.

Andy grew up in San Diego and attended Valhalla High School. His journey led him to Texas, where he pursued a career with Aguirre Plumbing Systems, Inc. and was also attending the ABC trade school. He was excited to become an Apprentice and have the opportunity to learn commercial plumbing. Andy had many dreams for his future and his ambition was evident to all who knew him. He often talked of his dream of one day, owning his own company.

He will profoundly be missed and forever remembered for his kind, loving heart, deep blue eyes, beautiful smile, hard work, integrity, dedication, and his unwavering commitment to always putting others first.

Andy loved God and was growing in his Christian faith. During some of the last conversations with his father, mother, and grandmother, Andy shared about his belief and faith in God. He knew he could call out to God, and that He was his strength and shield; by faith he knew he was saved and that God would always be by his side.

Psalms 28:7–8

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to everyone for their love and support during this difficult time. Your kindness has been a source of strength. A special thanks and appreciation to the Aguirre family for the love and support they showed Andy throughout his endeavors.

“Don’t cry for me for now, for now I’m free. I’m following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call. I turned my back and left at all. I’m all right. I’m better than you know. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with all the special moments and memories we shared. If my time seemed to brief, don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart, rejoice with me, God wanted me now. He has set me free”

“There are some who bring a light so great to the world, that even after they have gone, the light remains”

Psalms 23:4
