Adriel Joe Guitron

Adriel was born June 2,1954 to Victor Guitron and Ruth Guitron (De La Rosa) at San Bernardino Community Hospital.

Adriel graduated from Colton High School in 1972 and worked several jobs including Kaiser Steel, cable TV, and tree trimming. He later worked for the City of Colton for 17 years, and at San Manuel for 18 years.

Adriel loved all types of foods, and he loved spending time with his friends and family even more. He enjoyed fishing, attending air shows, the Long Beach Gran Prix, Redlands Bike Classic, live music, and many other local and popular events.

He tended to his neighborhood cats,raccoons, and any other critters who would call his garage home. He was the quintessential patriotic, blue collar guy who everyone wanted as their fishing buddy, wanted to laugh over lunch with, or take along on their next adventure.

Adriel is preceded in death by his father, Victor V Guitron, his mother Ruth Guitron, his brothers Victor and Albert Guitron, his nephew Victor M Guitron, his lifetime friends turned family, Jeff Maxwell and Pete Ambrose, and his beloved canine companion Samson. He is survived by his favorite sister Theresa F Guitron, nephew David M Guitron, sister-in-law Emily Guitron, lifetime friends turned family Jim Maxwell and Richard Bray.

Graveside services will be held at Montecito Memorial Park, 3520 E Washington, Colton on Wednesday February 11, 2026 at 10 am. A Celebration of Life will follow at the Double Tree by Hilton, 285 Hospitality Lane, San Bernardino.
