Isaac Gutierrez Jr.

1944 - 2008

Isaac Gutierrez Jr. 1944 - 2008 It's time to say good-bye to my daddy, who was a brilliant, loving man, who, like us all, made mistakes. He suffered from his choices, but always stayed strong and positive. My daddy accepted Jesus Christ in his heart as his Lord and Saviour and is forgiven. Now he is free and able to spread his wings and fly. I know he will always live on in my heart and through all his loved ones. What God brings together, no one can separate. The people who knew my daddy know he was a one of a kind daredevil that would do anything to protect someone in need. My dad was a firefighter for 17 years of his life and will always be a proud Marine in his heart. My dad loved his country as well as Bakersfield, and always stayed up with the latest laws, politics and football (a 49er fan). God knows his heart. We've lost our daddy, brother, grandpa and soulmate, but gained a guardian angel we can really count on. Free at last! Fly! I love you Daddy. Isaac Jr. is survived by his son, Isaac Joseph; daughters, Angela Quirina, Gail Monique; also, four grandchildren who he loved and adored with all his heart, Isaac IV, Ramon Jr., Isaac (Kung Fu Fighter), and little Sarah; his lifetime soulmate, Virginia; also, his siblings, brothers, Joel, Ruben, Peter, Alfred; sisters, Annie, Ester, Raquel; and many, many nieces and nephews. Isaac Jr. was called home to Heaven to be reunited with his mom and dad, and his big sis Licha. Now they're all united in God's great glory.
