| H.R. No. 846 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The certain knowledge of a life well lived may | ||
| temper the profound sadness felt by the loved ones of Fidencio E. | ||
| Gutierrez of San Antonio, who passed away on February 22, 2015, at | ||
| the age of 81; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Born in Mexico, Mr. Gutierrez left his home in | ||
| General Zuazua, Nuevo León, and emigrated to Texas in 1951; when he | ||
| arrived in San Antonio, he worked a variety of jobs and sent money | ||
| back to his parents, Fernando Gutierrez and Maria Sebastiana; in | ||
| 1954, he married Diamantina Perez, and they became the proud | ||
| parents of four sons, Jose Roberto, Ricardo, and Ruben Gutierrez, | ||
| and Roland Gutierrez, who is today a distinguished member of the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives; and | ||
| WHEREAS, With the help of his wife, Mr. Gutierrez improved | ||
| his English and obtained a Texas truck driver's license; he went on | ||
| to take the state life insurance board licensing exam, and he began | ||
| his career with American National Insurance Company in 1960; within | ||
| just a few years he was leading the regional office in sales, and | ||
| his stellar performance earned him many accolades; by 1969 he had | ||
| been appointed district manager and had opened his own office, | ||
| which two years later garnered the prestigious President's Award | ||
| for national sales; and | ||
| WHEREAS, After Diamantina Gutierrez passed away in 1971, | ||
| Mr. Gutierrez was fortunate to find love again with Bertha | ||
| Espinoza; possessed of an exceptionally strong work ethic herself, | ||
| this great-hearted woman shared his love of family, and the couple | ||
| enjoyed more than 25 rewarding years together; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Although Fidencio Gutierrez is deeply missed, | ||
| memories of his devotion to his loved ones, his zeal to provide for | ||
| their welfare, and his enthusiasm for a job well done remain a | ||
| treasured source of comfort and inspiration to those he leaves | ||
| behind; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Fidencio E. | ||
| Gutierrez and extend heartfelt sympathy to the members of his | ||
| family: to his children, Jose Roberto Gutierrez and his wife, | ||
| Rosie, Ricardo Gutierrez and his wife, Kathy, Ruben Gutierrez and | ||
| his wife, Alma, and State Representative Roland Gutierrez and his | ||
| wife, Sarah; to his second wife, Bertha Espinoza Gutierrez, and her | ||
| children, Alberto and Alicia Gomez; to his 16 grandchildren and 3 | ||
| great-grandchildren; and to his other relatives and friends; and, | ||
| be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of | ||
| Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Fidencio | ||
| Gutierrez. | ||
