Gregorio M. Gutierrez | ||
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas honors and | ||
commemorates the life of Gregorio M. Gutierrez, who died December | ||
13, 2020, at the age of 66; and | ||
WHEREAS, Gregorio Gutierrez was an exemplary citizen and | ||
esteemed leader in journalism whose commitment to creating a | ||

significant influence on shaping local communities and an impact | ||
on the lives of countless individuals; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born on November 17, 1954, in San Luis Potosi, | ||
Mexico, Gregorio immigrated to the United States in 1984 and | ||
moved to San Angelo in 1986; he served as a disc jockey at a local | ||
Spanish-language radio station, and he went on to form a media | ||
production company that led to the creation of a successful | ||
newspaper business; and | ||
WHEREAS, In 1990, he married Araceli Lara, who shared his | ||
passion for establishing a Spanish-language newspaper for San | ||
Angelo and the surrounding communities; he and his beloved wife | ||
were blessed with six children, 17 grandchildren, and two | ||
great-grandchildren, all of whom were a source of much pride and | ||
joy for him; and | ||
WHEREAS, He became a United States citizen in 2000, and he | ||
and Araceli soon began publishing Conexión Hispana, a weekly | ||
newspaper that made a profound difference in the ways in which | ||
the region addressed issues of importance to the Hispanic | ||
community; its success led them to produce additional | ||
publications, including Conexión San Angelo, Conexión Del Rio, | ||
Conexión a la Salud, Conexión Cristiana, and Art and Culture | ||
Connection; and | ||
WHEREAS, A man of faith, integrity, and vision, he gave | ||
unselfishly to others, and his quiet determination and | ||
commitment to public service will not be forgotten by those who | ||
were privileged to share in his life; and | ||
WHEREAS, He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, | ||
and he leaves behind memories that will be treasured forever by his | ||
family and countless friends; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the bereaved | ||
family of Gregorio M. Gutierrez; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
his family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the Texas | ||
Senate and that when the Senate adjourns this day, it do so in | ||
memory of Gregorio Gutierrez. | ||
