Jose M Gutierrez

Jose “Joe” Gutierrez of Grapevine, TX went to be with our Lord and Savior on July 28, 2025 at the age of 87.

He was born on February 11, 1938 in Rosenberg, TX to Gregorio and Guadalupe (Sosa) Gutierrez. He moved to San Antonio, TX, where he began his 35 year career with Volkswagen of America, eventually leading him to Houston, TX before making Grapevine his forever home in 1983. After retirement, he continued to show his family that they could attain anything through hard work by achieving a second retirement after a 20 year employment with Hallmark while simultaneously being an entrepreneur, buying and reselling treasures at the local flea markets on the weekends.

Jose met and married the love of his life, Yolanda, with whom he spent 67 amazing years. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, passions that he passed down to the next generations of his children and grandchildren, often taking fishing trips to the coast and hunting trips where he shared his wisdom, jokes, and stories of his past adventures by the campfire. He will be remembered as a loving, kind, patient, generous Christian man and for the unconditional love that he had for his family.

Jose is survived by his adoring wife, Yolanda, his children, Sylvia,(preceded in death by Johnny) Jose Jr, (Melissa) and David, (Crystal) his grandchildren, Faith, (Dominique) David Michael, (Lynette) John Joseph, and Christina (Isaac) his great-grandchildren, Stephen, Ariana, Justin, Alex, Angelina, Allison, Eric, and Izabella, his brothers Fermin (Esther) and Ramon, and many nieces and nephews.

A funeral mass will be held on Monday, August 11, 2025 at 11am at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, 861 Wildwood Ln, Grapevine, TX with a reception to follow. A second mass will be held in San Antonio, TX at a later date.
