Rodolfo was born on August 29th, 1957 in Los Alvarenos, Saucillo, Chihuahua to Isabel Gutierrez and Ma. Trinidad Orrantia. After moving to the United States, Rodolfo met his ex-wife, Celia C. Gutierrez, and welcomed three children during their 21-year marriage. His children remember him as a jokester, a loving father, and an even better grandfather. Rodolfo was an avid baseball player who was a pitcher for his team the Diablos in the 1990s in Gallup, NM.

Rodolfo enjoyed working on cars. He loved spending time with his family and especially his 7 grandchildren who he loved deeply. He was known to his grandchildren for always carrying starburst. Family get togethers will never be the same without his smile and laughter. He will be truly missed.

A service is scheduled for September 15th, 2021 starting at 9am at Resthaven Memorial Gardens. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Rodolfo’s life.
