It is with deep love and sadness that we announce the passing of our dear brother, Manuel C Gutierrez, whose warm spirit and outgoing personality touched everyone who knew him. Manuel never met a stranger — he could strike up a conversation with anyone, anywhere, and often did. Whether sharing stories, laughter, or proudly telling people about the arthritis in his kneecaps, he had a way of making others feel comfortable and seen.
Manuel loved spending time at Pica Pica, where he enjoyed listening to music, soaking in the atmosphere, and watch people dance for hours. He found joy in simple moments and treasured being around others. His lively personality and friendly nature made him unforgettable to all who crossed his path.
He was also a devoted fan of pro-wrestling and could often be found watching his favorite matches with excitement and enthusiasm. Action movies were another passion of his, and he loved the classic TV shows of western, adventure, and honor.
Above all, Manuel will be remembered for his kindness, sense of humor, and the way he connected with people so effortlessly. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and everyone lucky enough to have shared a conversation with him.
He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Manuel I. Gutierrez and Carolina Y. Gutierrez.
He is survived by his siblings,Daniel (Christin) Gutierrez, Faustino (Sueann) Gutierrez, Elizabeth (Lupe) Lomas, numerous nieces, nephews, aunts and cousins.
