Reinaldo (Ray) D. Gutierrez, age 59, a beloved and devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, and brother was called home to be with the Lord our Savior, Tuesday, July 23, 2002, while surrounded by his loving family. Ray was a life long resident of Albuquerque; a parishioner of Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church; a United States Army Veteran; and member of the American Legion Post 69. Ray enjoyed working with horses; he was a musician; but, the joy of his life were his children and grandchildren. He married the love of his life, Jeanette Sena on November 3, 1962 at Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church.
