Rick Gutierrez

Rick was truly one of a kind — an adventurer at heart with a free spirit and a deep love for life. He was a traveler, skater, runner, tattoo artist, and rap artist. He loved riding his motorcycle, creating and admiring graffiti. He also loved being around family and those closest to him. Wherever Rick went, he left his mark through his creativity, energy, and passion.

A hardworking plumber, Rick was known for his incredible work ethic. He worked tirelessly every day and rarely took a day off, always doing what he could to provide and build a better future for the people he loved.

Above all, Rick loved his family and especially cherished becoming a father. He leaves behind his beautiful three-month-old daughter, who was the light of his life, his wife, his younger brother, two sisters, and his parents. He is preceded in death by his older brother, who passed away as an infant in 1988.

Rick will be remembered for his big heart, his artistic soul, his fearless spirit, and the love he had for his family. His memory will live on through his daughter and through everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.

A message to his daughter:

Your daddy loved you more than words could ever express. Though his time with you was far too short, his love for you is endless and will surround you for the rest of your life. He will live on in your smile, your strength, and your spirit. You will always be his greatest pride and his forever angel.
