Onesimo Manuel Gutierrez

Onesimo Manuel Gutierrez was born on February 16, 1962 and raised in Chiapas, Mexico, to Abelina Mejia and Anastacio Gutierrez. He passed away on October 5, 2026. From humble beginnings, Onesimo carried with him a strong spirit, unwavering determination, and a dream of building a life in America.

In September 1997, that dream became a reality when Onesimo proudly became a United States citizen. This accomplishment was a testament to his grit, perseverance, and determination to create a better future. He embraced the opportunities before him and built a life filled with meaningful experiences and cherished memories.

Onesimo found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He enjoyed running, fishing, and traveling, always appreciating the opportunity to explore new places and make lasting memories. And when it came to food, a favorite meal he truly enjoyed was a lobster feast from Red Lobster.

Above all, Onesimo treasured his family. He leaves behind his beloved son, Mark Gutierrez; daughter, Zeir Gutierrez; and grandson, Carson Manis, who will carry his memory and the legacy of his determination, strength, and love forward.

Onesimo’s journey—from his childhood in Chiapas to achieving his dream of becoming an American citizen—was one of courage, perseverance, and hope. His life was a testament to what can be accomplished when one refuses to give up on a dream. Though he is deeply missed, the memories he created and the lives he touched will remain a lasting part of his family’s story.
