Eternal Reward

We are writing to let you know that our Papa, Rev. Jess A. Gutierrez, has just been promoted to Glory. We are sure he has already exchanged that mortal body for the new one he asked for this past Christmas. Our family has never walked this road of illness before and every step was truly overwhelming. But through it all we embraced every moment and we embraced each other. We have great confidence in Jesus, our strength. However, in our humanity we feel the heartache as we traveled the journey together. To God be the glory, our shield, buckler, and comforter.

  1. My heart is heavy for the family. A Redwood has passed on. I have peace in the fact that we will see him again very shortly. Right now, He's having the time of his life.

    O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? I Cor. 15:55

  2. Brother Rick and I send our deepest condolence to the family. Brother Jesse was a jewel. I still remember when he baptized us 24 years ago this month. He preached on the valley of decision. We choose to live for God and never look back. Sister Linda, we love you and are praying for you. We will contine to keep fond memories of our dear brother. Until we meet again...God Bless Rick & Dina Vigil
