JESUS G. "SQUIGGY" GUTIERREZ

FOREVER 29

Jesus G. “Squiggy” Gutierrez was a rare kind of soul—a brilliant mind paired with a heart that beat for others. His intelligence was vast, his humor boundless, and his compassion infinite. He had an extraordinary gift for lifting others out of their darkest moments, making them laugh when all they wanted to do was cry.

Squiggy cared so deeply for those around him that he often forgot to care for himself. He was the kind of person who carried the weight of the world on his shoulders, while never letting his love for others falter. In a world that doesn’t always understand the storms within, Squiggy was a lighthouse for everyone else. His selflessness was both beautiful and profound, a reflection of a spirit that existed to bring light into the lives of others.

To his mother, he was her sweet, handsome boy, a partner in life’s journey, and the anchor of so many cherished memories. “You made me grow up and grew up with me,” she says, her words a testament to the depth of their bond. The longing for him to grow older alongside them is a heartache that will never fade, but the love he gave remains an everlasting treasure.

Squiggy’s laugh could brighten the darkest corners, his presence could make the world feel lighter, and his love could fill the deepest voids. He was not just a son, a brother, or a friend—he was a beacon of hope and joy, a reminder that even in the battles we fight within, the love we share can ripple outward endlessly.

Though his journey ended far too soon, Squiggy’s legacy is eternal. His brilliance, his kindness, and the way he brought laughter to others will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
