Arturo "Arthur" Gutierrez passed away on May 3, 2017. He was born on October 22, 1924 in Salina, Kansas, and grew up in Lamar, Colorado. Art was a World War II veteran who received a Bronze Star along with other medals during his time in the military. After leaving the military, Art went to work for and retried from the Air Force Academy.

My condolances and prayers to the family. Art was more than a neighbor to my mom and I, he was a friend. He was always lending a helping hand, if and when he could. It was a joy watching him mow the lawn every Friday morning starting in springtime thru the fall. He never seemed to tire. Well God saw that you finally did get tired and called you home. Your resting now Art, God bless you. You'll be missed.
