Speedy Gutierrez

Speedy "David" Gutierrez, age 55, of Texico, NM was surrounded by his family when God called him to his eternal home on Sunday, January 13, 2019. He was born on February 1, 1963 in El Pueblo, NM to the home of Alejandro and Lydia C. (Chavez) Gutierrez.

Speedy was a hard worker and worked for numerous years as a Rail Watchman /Ribber for Excel in Friona, TX. He also worked as a bricklayer for numerous construction companies in Portales and Clovis.

Speedy was devoted to his Catholic religion and to the church. He loved to cook and work outdoors, as he had a green thumb growing beautiful flowers. Speedy had a wonderful sense of humor and was just a fun guy to be around. He was good at making his friends and family laugh as he was joking around. Speedy was a simple easy going guy who was humble and never complained about anything. He loved spending time with his family. The joy of his life were his children, David and Lorena and his grandchildren, Evyanna and Roman. He will be dearly missed by all.
