Nicholas C. Gutierrez

Nicholas “Nick” Gutierrez, beloved brother, son, uncle, and friend, unexpectedly passed away in his home on November 29, 2021, at the age of 39. He is survived by those who love him most, including his mother, Darla; sisters, Liz, Kim, and Jess; maternal grandma, Darlene; uncles, Monty (Ginny), Mike, Joey, and Chris; and aunt, Patty. Nick was a loving uncle to seven nephews, three nieces, and one great-niece. He is also survived by many cousins and friends.

Nick was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin but spent the majority of his adult years residing in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Nick made a successful career as a salesman, doing what he loved, meeting and interacting with new people.

Those who knew Nick knew of his caring spirit and generous heart. His love for others shined through his donations to many charitable organizations and educating others about God’s love.

Nick was an avid lover of writing and of the outdoors. He spent a great deal of his time camping, hiking, and enjoying nature. His love for the outdoors brought out his happy free spirit that defined him. Nick also had a love for sports and was excited to witness the Milwaukee Bucks win the 2021 championship live in person. Bucks in Six! Nick was a wonderful brother who always tried to spend quality time with his sisters and motivate them to prosper in life.

When you think of Nick, celebrate the good memories you have of him. Remember that life is fragile and short and should be lived to the fullest. He will be missed more than words can express but he will be forever in our hearts until we meet again.
