Obituary for Jesse Luis Gutierrez
August 25, 1932 — June 21, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Jesse Luis Gutierrez, 91, on June 21, 2024, at North Point Senior Living in Kenosha.
Jesse was born in Texas on Aug. 25, 1932 to Maximillian and Guadalupe (née Sabala) Gutierrez. Despite not completing formal education, Jesse dedicated himself to his work with great skill and passion. He will always be remembered for his hard work and dedication to his craft.
He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed camping and fishing, and every summer, he traveled from Ohio to Racine with Amanda to celebrate his birthday. Jesse was a family-oriented man who cherished his dog Pockets and valued spending time with loved ones. His kindness and compassion were appreciated by all who knew him.
He is survived by Patricia Amann, his significant other for the past 22 years with whom he found love again; daughter, Charlene Behrens; sisters, Olivia Ramos and Esther Gutierrez; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Jesse was preceded in death by his parents, Maximillian and Guadalupe; wife, Amanda (née Behrens) Gutierrez; sister, Sally (Mike) Marquez; brothers, Ysidro (Adeline) Gutierrez and Maximillian Gutierrez, Jr.
In honoring Jesse’s life, let us come together to celebrate the man he was and the legacy he leaves behind. He will be dearly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
