David H. Gutierrez, 35

I remember david as a very caring and happy person. He has been a family friend for as long as i could remember.He had the biggest smile and always was motivated for success.my heart goes out to his mother olga and his wife and kids.THE CASTRO FAMILY GILROY,CA

To many of us David will always be remembered as "gut". He was the guy you could always count on. His love for sports, family, friends and this nation has and always will fill our hearts. Though he is now fallen, he will never be forgotten. We love you David! May your family pull through this terrible time.

David had a heart of gold and a fabulous sense of humor. He gave me my first taste of ceviche and I have never forgotten how wonderful it was and to this day cannot duplicate it. Patty is a forever friend and although we haven't spoken in awhile she crosses my mind every now and again when I see something here in Hawaii that reminds me of her. My heart aches at this tragedy. Much love to you Patty.

Rest in Peace my fellow comrade.

David, nuestras oraciones estan contigo, con Paty, los niños,tus papas y hermanos.

Uncle Dave, may you Rest In Peace Uncle. I'll always remember the times we had living in Modesto when you and autie Patty would visit and stay the weekends. We always played sports and we always wrestled against each other to the point we broke my moms couch. So you know, I try to better myself each day serving in the ARMY wanting to be as dedicated like you were to family and to the uniform. Continue to watch over your family now Uncle, the Ladaga famiy will never forget you...

I will always remember David's laugh, smile and wild and crazy sense of humor. He was a devoted Son, father, husband, friend and mentor. There wasn't a time when I was around him that he didn't make me laugh. I'll never forget our dinner at my house right before you guys moved to Ten. or the lunch w/ Patty and the boys all came to visit me at work. I'll always treasure those memories. To a True Hero!!! We love and miss you, David. ALWAYS!!! Trotter-Neal Family We love you, Patty (Ate), Andrew, Jeremiah and Gabe!! He's resting now w/ his beautiful baby girl, Reyna..both angels looking down on us and guiding us.

I never had the honor of meeting David, yet I know his spirit. His dad and I fought together in Vietnam as paratroopers in 1968.

Sleep well gentle warrior, your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

I don't know this soldiers as I'm just visiting the LA Times website. I thank him and his family for his dedication to our county. Thank you for keeping America free and protecting our beliefs. It's because heroes like you my very young daughter will be able to live freely in this wonderful country. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! As his year's anniversary of his death know that his dedication to our country is not forgotten. RIP

You are a courageous, heartbreaking hero. The Bay Area misses you; your family does more. Rest in Peace always

Thank you for serving our country. I pray that each day that passes your wife, children, family and friends continue to feel your presence in their lives. I did not know you but reading about your passing made me cry. As a wife and mother and can only imagine what your family is feeling now that you are not here. May you rest in peace and may your family learn to celebrate Christmas in a new way.
