'So sorry to hear about Jimmy. My thoughts and prayers are worth you and your family.'

'Jimmy, you were taken so soon from us, but we know God has plans for each and everyone of us. He came calling for you, and you answered in the same fashion you always do, when friends and family are calling. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Marcella, sons, and the entire community of people who crossed your path through life. You will be greatly missed, but remembered warmly by us all. Rest in peace my brother.'

'Deepest Condolences to James entire family especially his wife and sons. I will deeply miss keeping you up to date on HC Football. Timothy 2: 6,7,8.For I am already being poured out like a libation and the time of my departure has come. I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith. From now on the crown of righteousness awaits me, which the Lord, the just judge, will have awarded me, and not only me but all who have longed for his appearance. James mi amigo Vaya con Dios, Rest in Peace my fellow Loma Parker and Holy Cross Knight. Until we meet again. Squeak'

'A true testament of the fine person James was is by the outpouring support his family received at the Rosary, Mass and reception not to exclude the messages left here and the funeral home website. James had the toughness of his wonderful Dad the compassion and love of life from his beautiful Mom. He has been called home by the Father Almighty and rest assured his Dad, Mom, brother, relatives and all the Loma Park and Holy Cross family were in wait at the purly gates. God Bless. Squeak.'

'We are sorry for you loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you..'

'A truly good man. James was always a pleasure to know and work with. He was a gift to us all.'

'My heart and soul goes out to James and his family for their loss. I worked with James for over 30 years with the company. My first meeting with him was in the early 80's when I was employed as a part-time seasonal driver out of the old UPS Alamo Heights Center. At that time he was a Supervisor there who worked successively on all shifts of the operation. He was there for the drivers in the morning during our Pre-load operation before we left the building, there during the day as an On-Car Supervisor who supported not only the center operation but also helped customers, and then again in the evening at our Un-load operation when the packages were brought back in for processing. He worked his way up in the company serving in various managerial positions throughout the district. I believe he found his ultimate position at our San Antonio Gateway where he could serve an even larger number of individuals which not only included our customers but also everyone that was involved in servicing our customers which affected thousands of people on a daily basis. He was always there to support everyone's success whenever needed. He was especially customer minded and would always go above and beyond to provide excellent service. He stood out as a very warm and friendly individual and manager that would always be positive and supportive even under the most demanding and stressful challenges that were presented. He was a great friend to have and I will truly miss him. Tim Grona'

'My condolences to you and your family Marcella, I have known James since he followed Johnny back in the days.It is a sad day knowing both good men are gone. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.'

'My condolences to Marcella and the boys. All the Knights who knew James are grieving today at such a sudden loss. My heart breaks for you. I knew James only one year when I was an 8th grader, and was scared to death of him, but I knew deep down he cared for us little kids. I loved watching play football, and learned how to conduct yourself as a player. God speed dear brother. You're missed so much.'

'My condolences for the family of Jimmy Gutierrez. Jimmy was my cousin. I remember as children playing football along with my brothers with Jimmy and Johnny when my parents would visit their parents. Praying for God's peace and comfort during this time of loss.'

'I only knew James Gutierrez for a year & a half, after joining UPS Air, but in that short time, I understood that this man completely represented & embodied what it means to have belief in every aspect of life...in finding the best in people and making them shine, in the importance of making positive contributions in this world, and in the truth that we all have difficult choices to make, but that ultimately, we prevail with knowledge and experience. I will miss his honesty and guidance, but mostly, his laugh.'

'I have worked with James for 20 years at UPS. I will sincerely miss him. James loved his family and he loved working with UPS. James was an inspiration to all of us. I have a deep appreciation for his tireless dedication and steadfast commitment to excellence in all things that he did. James leaves a long legacy of drivers, load planners, supervisors and managers that he has trained. His dedication to his family and to Holy Cross is known by everyone. But most of all I will miss his smile and his laugh and knowing that he was always there to take care of all us. We will all cherish our memories. My condolences to Marcella and his sons. Godspeed and rest in peace.'

'Jimmy Gutierrez Family, wishing you and yours our sincerest condolences. Jimmy and I as cousins in our childhood shared many holidays with John Gerard, Tia Amelia and Tio John. I especially remember the Christmases of our lives when we would gather in the kitchen the girls and moms making tamales, the boys playing outside or in loving football even then. Then on Christmas Eve opening the presents we had exchanged gifts children with children and adults with adults. My mom, Lucy, and Dad Gumesindo "Gumie" would pass the evening watching tv and playing dominos. Those memories I cherish always. His days @ Cross with John were great. Just as my high school days @ Providence class of '69. He had his sons @ Cross; I had my girls @ Providence classes '92 & '97 and now my 2 granddaughters. The years go by and we all grew up to be parents and grandparents. 
May God grant Jimmy peace and the family consolation at this time of your loss. God bless all of you. 
David, Yolanda "Bunny" Cortez Benavides & Idalia M.D./Daniel Bilano-Luciana 4 yrs. Daniel Joseph 3 yrs. Liliana 18 mos., David Jr.(class of Central Catholic '95)/Lisa Benavides-Felicia 18 yrs.
