Eduardo "Eddy" Gutierrez Obituary (1988

Eduardo “Eddy” Gutierrez, age 30, passed away peacefully Thursday, March 14. He was born on March 27, 1988 in Palm Springs, California, but was raised in Utah. Eddy was a hardworking man; he dropped out of high school in order to help support his family. He worked at Chuck-A-Rama, where he made an impact on many. He was kind and had an enormous heart. He was selfless and compassionate. The one thing that Eddy loved most was music. Never would his home be quiet, for you could always hear the strum of his favorite guitars. He believed music was the most honest and beautiful thing. Music meant the world to him, as he meant the world to his family. Eddy wanted to make music and learn every instrument he could. He was talented; he didn’t know how to read music but he learned to play many instruments including: guitar, piano, bass, harmonica, drums, violin, accordion, and the mbira. Alongside music, Eddy loved sports, and was an avid Jazz and Real Salt Lake fan. He tried going to as many games as possible. He enjoyed watching them more than playing, but he loved the sports so much. He had many dreams and aspirations in life but while his time on Earth may have been cut short, his family believes that he accomplished the one that meant the most to him−living a happy life. He lived every day as best as he could. He was happy even until to his final moments where he died doing what he loved most, playing music. To his family, he was the most caring and supportive person they could have asked for. He took care of them and loved them with all of his heart. He did whatever he could to keep everyone happy and to feel loved. He was the best brother and son they could have asked for. Eddy is survived by his mother, Maria, and brother, Jesus. A Funeral Mass will be held at 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, March 19, 2019 at the St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, 65 East 500 North, Orem, Utah.
