My Tio Peno died last night. I have such fond memories of him. He was always so nice and funny. I remember living in Longview and playing at his house with my cousins. I saw him last a few years ago at another uncles funeral and he looked the same. A little older but exactly as I remembered him.
From what Dad tells me, Tio went peacefully. His friends and family around. He was ready.
May God grant us all peace and comfort.
Rest In Peace, Tio.

Mr. Gutierrez was born March 28, 1940 in Seguin and passed away on Wednesday, May 2, 2007 at his residence in Teague with his family by his side. Mr. Gutierrez worked in construction. He was a very loving husband and father. He was very involved in the church no matter where he lived or worked. He also did ministry work at the prison. He touched many lives in one way or another. Mr. Gutierrez never met a stranger that he wouldn’t help. He was a very devoted Catholic and a very unselfish person, everyone else always came first even during his illness. He was very respected by many priests, deacons, ministers, bishops and cardinals from all religions. He just celebrated forty-five years of being a “Cursillo” member. He was named by The Holy Father Pope Paul VI to be honored with the “Pro Ecclesia Et Pontifice Medal” in 1973.
