On this day, I want you to know that I will always love you and you shall always be in my heart. Miss you little buddy...Happy Birthday!

Miguel, You will always have a special corner of my heart. I will never forget the night I ran into you at Circus years ago and how we ran to each other like two school girls, best reunion hug ever!!(Will & Grace moment indeed) I will treasure that night forever. Oh the heart ache to have lost such a beautiful gentle soul. So much love, until our next meet. In the meantime I send you hugs in spirit.

Mijo, you burned so bright, with so much passion and so many dreams. My friend, because I knew you...  I have been changed for good.  Peace, joy, love and forgiveness.

Miss you Miguel!!! You were an amazing inspiration when times were extremely difficult for me...... God Bless your soul and you are missed tremendously.......

I just found out On the 24 of November that a wonderful, beautiful human being passed away. I knew Miguel for a short time, but in that time, I met a beautiful, amazing person. That person was Miguel. I live in Miami, FloridaAnd i knew Miguel through his life partner, Steve. And through the two of them, i appreciated life and what it has to offer. I'm distraught and heartbroken over the loss of a BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING AND WONDERFUL FRIEND. I DIDN'T. Know Miguel as long as I wish I could've, but inn my 40 Years on this Earth he was a TRUE CLASS ACT.  The world is a less distinctive place to be without a tremendous and amazing person as Miguel Gutierrez. God Bless Miguel and i know, that in my heart Miguel well never be forgotten. I only wish that i could know him better and have more time to give him the biggest hug known to mankind. He deserves it. I will never forget the time you chose to be a friend and brother on my heart. God BlessAnd I'll always miss you Miguel........

Dearest Miquelito.  I am heartbroken.  Miquel and I met when he wandered into my class when I was a young and inexperienced teacher.  Shy, sweet and quiet on the outside, inside he was one of the most intelligent, funny, strong-minded and brave young men of my acquaintance.  I met him when he was 14 yrs and though we were from different worlds and times, he was a kindred spirit.   I relied on his judgment and creativity countless times.  I convinced him to play Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet...and though he was so very nervous, he took it on and became a leader in the drama program.  He made me laugh so many times....in the midst of frustration or exhaustion, during insane improvisations with his friends, during rehearsals, class, cast parties.  He was just a wonderful, smart, funny, brave admirable person.  My sympathy to all who knew and loved him in his youth and in his adulthood,  who will feel his absence deeply every day.  Miguelito, may your beautiful soul rest in peace.

Rest easy Miguel  I regret that I never knew you in life, but you made my brother happy.  May you find peace.

What a beautiful service and celebration of Miguel's life yesterday.  He was very loved by all that knew him.  You could tell by the number of people who came to say goodbye.  He will be missed.  

with love, Lori

Steve, you have my sincere condolences and deepest sympathy.   May you cherish the good memories and the special times you experienced.

To Steve and Miguel's family, it was such a pleasure to know and care for Miguel. He was such a warm and loving individual.  I kept his appointment space open because I kept expecting him to reutrn. It is with great sadness that I write this.   What a beautiful soul. May he rest in peace.  God will be with you during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy.

Jim Murphy

To the family of Miguel Gutierrez, I would like to extend my condolences and pray that God will comfort you and may you find peace knowing that Miguel is no longer suffering, but resting peacefully and will soon awaken when Jesus comes again.

To the Gutierrez family, I am so so sorry for your loss. I met Miguel when he was in middle school with my son Carlos Vizcarra and they have been  good friends ever since even though Carlos moved to Tennessee they still kept in touch, he would come to our home often always very polite you raised a good son, our family just loved him and will be deeply missed and always in our hearts, I found a picture of Miguel and Carlos from high school

May you rest in peace.  Heaven has gained an angel.

Steve, Miguel will live on in your heart with the love you two shared. May you find peace soon and surround yourself with those who love and support you.

Steve.... I just wanted you to know that I am another shoulder for you to lean on any time you want. I am deeply saddened. Thank you for letting me know.   I am reminded that I can't be so serious all the time. And that I have to live and enjoy the present. I live with no regrets and I know that every person that I have had the previlage of spending time with had a purpose in my life. Miguel taught me to be more aware of my actions because they affect others as well. I am happy that I got to speak to you earlier and I hope you and I can spend some time together soon.  Condolences. Until we meet in person.

"Miguel, you will be deeply missed.  We have so many nice & fun memories of you which will forever live in our hearts.  We don't doubt that wherever you are, you're making everyone dance, sing and laugh. We love you Mike. We will hang out again!! You and your loved ones will be in our prayers."       Alex & Adri

Wishing you peace and love in the ever-after.  I regret loosing the chance to get to know someone who was such an important part of Steve's life.

Of all the sad things we face in life, saying farewell to a loved one is the saddest. They may die, but they live on in our hearts. They live in the memories and love that was shared in life.  May God fill your heart with healing comfort. Love, prayer, and condolences to you all.

We have lost a former Editor-in-Chief of the Viking Scroll. Miguel, class of '99, was talented, funny, wonderfully sensible and even-tempered -- a pleasure to be around. Gone, never forgotten. I hope the family will have many good memories of him in the difficult days ahead.

Miguel was so very, very loved. We are waiting to see him again in the paradise.

Our deepest and heartfelt condolences go out to our dear friend Steve and the rest of Miguel's family and friends at this great moment of loss.  One once said that the only measure of our words and our deeds is the love we leave behind when we're gone and by that measure Miguel was deeply loved and we will all miss him.

My dearest, and longest friend...you will be missed beyond what words can possibly say. You were the first person I could actually be myself with, the first person to make be feel comfortable in my own skin. I know we have not seen much of each other since I moved, but I will always cherish you and always love you. There shall always be a special place in my heart for you.
