Marcus Moises Gutierrez, 26, of Trujillo, N.M., went to be with our Lord on Saturday, Feb. 23, 2019 as a result of a tragic accident. He was surrounded by his loving family.
He was born to Adrian and Diana Gutierrez on June 29, 1992 in Las Vegas. Marcus was employed by New Mexico Highway Department of Transportation for seven years, where he was a dedicated and caring worker.
He always gave his all to his job and he was very meticulous and thorough, which resulted in his co-workers becoming his lifelong friends.
Marcus loved the Dallas Cowboys, fishing, camping, long rides on his motorcycle and being at the lake. He was adventurous but most importantly he loved to do anything that included his family and friends.
Marcus had a golden heart and anybody who needed help he would help and anybody he met became a friend. He was always optimistic and supportive and had a beautiful soul.
He met the love of his life, his fiancée Lori Sanchez, whom he spent the past six years with. Marcus and Lori shared many beautiful memories during their time together, but his greatest moment was when he proposed to her on Dec. 24, 2018.
