JOSE DOLORES GUTIERREZ JR, a beacon of kindness and resilience, passed away on March 26, 2026, in his beloved hometown of Dallas, Texas. Born on July 10, 1976, Jose was a soul marked by a luminous spirit—one who carried a big smile that could brighten the darkest rooms, a heart brimming with generosity.

He devoted himself tirelessly, embodying a spirit of resilience and hard work that inspired those who knew him. His commitment to his loved ones was palpable, and he lived each day with a loving and caring nature that touched every life around him.

Educated at Woodrow and Skyline High School, Jose's achievements were not measured merely in diplomas or accolades but in the deep pride he held for his greatest accomplishments—his children and granddaughter. To his daughter Daisiah Gutierrez and son Damian Reyna, Jose was not just a father but a guiding light. To his granddaughter Ariella Gomez, he was a cherished presence, a legacy of love that will forever be remembered.
