Robert "Bob" Joseph Gutierrez

Robert "Bob" Joseph Gutierrez, 90, of Grand Junction, Colorado, and formerly of Leadville, entered into eternal rest on August 23, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

Born in Leadville on June 15, 1935, Bob lived a life of faith, hard work, music, and devotion to family. He married the love of his life, Gloria (Silva) Gutierrez, on November 28, 1959, and together they shared more than 65 years of marriage, raising a large and loving family. 

Bob proudly served in the United States Marine Corps, achieving the rank of Sergeant, and later worked as an electrician until his retirement in 1995. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Eileen Gutierrez, and is survived by his wife Gloria; children Walter, MaryAnn (Rick), Sally (Alfred), Serena (Ismael), and Gerald (Kristina); sister Della; 18 grandchildren; 24 great-grandchildren; and on great-great-grandchild. 

He loved bowling, golfing, camping and fishing, music, poetry, and woodworking, but his greatest joy was time spent with his family. Bob will be remembered for his humor, creativity, kindness, and the deep love he gave to those around him. 

His legacy of love and faith lives on in the hearts of all who knew him. 

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day-and not only to me, but alsoto all who have longed for His appearing." 2 Timothy 4:7-8
