Having worked with Sergio at the Imperial Valley College Counseling Center, I found him to be a gentleman, a man of integrity, respectful and compassionate toward all with whom he worked. To each of his family members, I send my most sincere condolences as you grieve the loss of your loved one.

I'm so sad to hear Mr. Gaytan passed away. He was a very talented artist, and a kind person. I worked with him through the City of Calexico Arts Commission. He was always full of great ideas and eager to help. He gave me a greater appreciation for art. I will always be grateful for that. I'd seen him a few times since then at Michael's Store, and he seemed so happy to have the time to pursue his love of art. He always went out of his way to talk to me and inquire about my family. I will miss him. My condolences to his family.
