Benito Gutierrez, born on July 3, 1928, went with the Lord on April 9, 2014 at the age of 85 in Eagle Pass, Texas.

Benito was a cheerful, lighthearted man with a great passion for gardening and carpentry. He was known to be a good neighbor, as well as an all-around exemplary man. He was fond of music and dancing. Benito also enjoyed certain sports, especially boxing. He enjoyed spending time playing and taking care of his grandchildren. Those close to him will remember Benito for being a kind husband, an excellent father, and a loving grandfather.
