Rick Gutierrez
Tulare - In loving memory of Rick Gutierrez who was born March 11, 1968 to Salvador & Socorro and was received by God on January 8th, devoted husband of 26 years to Carolyn, and loving father to Alec and James. Rick was born and raised in Dinuba California. As a young boy he enjoyed playing with the neighborhood kids, riding bikes and building ramps to fly off of, playing drums while the other boys had cutout cardboard guitars and watching Terry Bradshaw throw passes on T.V. He fondly spoke of his childhood trips to Mexico to visit his grandmother, aunts, uncles and cousins. He loved his brothers Hank and Renee and his sister Melissa. He was always sharing stories of their childhood memories. He was a loyal and true friend. Although his circle was small, he helped out many. He wouldn't hesitate to assist customers in need with a small repair and send them on their way. Rick would take calls at home for customers and without a computer or inventory list, would spew out a series of numbers without hesitation. He truly enjoyed getting up and getting it done each day at Boyd's Electric where he worked for 25 years.
Rosary and Mass with be held St. Rita's Catholic Church on Thursday, January 18th at 1:00 pm. Arrangement are entrusted to Miller's Tulare Funeral Home.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
Although it has been a couple of decades that I've seen or talked to Rick, I still thought of him from time to time. I worked along side Rick at Napa auto parts in Dinuba 88'-89' for about a year. That's where I met Rick. He was a Great person. I'd run into him from time to time years after that, and I even went over to his place in Tulare and drank a beer with him once. Damn..... I always thought that I'd run into him sometime and we'd get together again. I took advantage of time and I regret it. I'm So Deeply Sorry for you and your familys' loss. He was one of a kind. I just heard about his death not to long ago. Again I'm so sorry.

I'll always remember you as the fierce drummer in the spectacular air guitar band with Raymond. Gone too young.

These last few weeks have been so hard for us. We have lean on one another for comfort & support but most of all to talk about your infectious laugh, your dance moves,(.... oh the dance moves you had) and playing the drums for us while we sang along. There are so many wonderful memories we will cherish and share of you together. The best thing we get to share and say is that Rick was our brother. You will be so dearly missed. But one day we will laugh, dance and sing to your drum playing again. We love Rick.
Missing you, Henry, Rene and Melissa Gutierrez

Family, So sorry for your loss. Rick was always a positive part of a normally average work day when I would go by Boyd's. Definitely going to be some large shoes to fill.
Prayers for healing for all of the Gutierrez family.

Rick was a great friend, fantastic musician, played the drums like no other, and a HUGE Steeler fan.
Rick played drums in the first band I was in, The Traxx', we had some fun and crazy times. I will miss his humor and how he lit up any room he was in.I have missed you all these years man...
Rest In Peace my brother, bang the drums in heaven,
Much Love.
