Bertin Gutierrez Obituary (1967 - 2024)

We regretfully inform you of the retirement from life of Bertin "el gato" Gutierrez, who, after 57 years of charming the pants off everyone he met, has decided to take a permanent vacation. Born on the 8th of August, 1967, in Metapan, El Salvador, Bertin had a knack for being the life of the party. With his charisma, he could turn a boring event into a fiesta, and with his humor, he could make a funeral feel like a comedy show. Not that he would do that now, of course. Bertin, who had a second career as the world's funniest construction worker, resided in Everett, Massachusetts, after brief stints in Boston and New York. In retirement, he swapped his tool belt for a dog leash, taking his beloved Boyka out for walks. He was a loving husband to Mirsa Gutierrez, a funny father to Stefany, Carlos, and Yasmin Gutierrez, and a charismatic friend to many. He was preceded in death by his parents, Bertin Gutierrez Sr. and Evangelina Magana. His family was his pride and joy, and he would often boast that he had the best family in the world - a fact that nobody disputed. In honor of Bertin, we encourage his friends and family to share their memories and upload photos to his memorial page. It's a chance to remember the good times, the funny stories, and the charisma of a man who was larger than life. And remember, as Bertin would say, "Life is a party. You just have to know how to dance." Let's keep the dance going in his memory.
