David Lee Guttery, age 82, born on July 20, 1942, in San Angelo, Texas, passed away on February 3, 2025, in his hometown.

David graduated from Central High School and pursued machinist training in Fort Worth, Texas. He dedicated over 30 years of his career to Western Iron Works before establishing and operating Guttery Machine Shop, where he applied his expertise and craftsmanship.

He was an avid fisherman and hunter and over the years enjoyed stock car, sprint car, and NASCAR racing. He was a mechanical whiz and could fix anything!

He is survived by his son, Joe Guttery of San Angelo; his sister, Lisa Vines Bibb of Zephyr; his niece, Melissa Burrage Jones and her husband Hunter; and his great-niece, Landrie Jones of Odessa.
