Manuel “Junior” Gutierrez, Jr., 53, of Green County, KY was born on March 14, 1969 and passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 31, 2022 surrounded by his wife and kids.

Junior was special to so many people and we wish for everyone to remember him as you’ve always known him…happy, sociable, friendly…someone who would talk to anyone and everyone, he would give the shirt off his back or his last $5 to help anyone. He is loved by so many and was the best husband, father, and PaPa we could’ve ever asked for and we are so grateful for the time we had with him, even if it was too short.  

Junior also helped care for so many other kids during his life, taking them in and helping with whatever they may need, and all of our “extras” will miss him and remember him as well. He was stubborn as a mule, but would fight for any one of our kids, and they all know who they are. He loved Star Wars, Fast & Furious, DIY shows, anything Marvel, and anything to do with cars. He could fix about anything, a jack of all trades, and was always there when someone needed a listening ear. His memory stays with us all forever and his presence a constant reminder to live life to the fullest and never take a single day for granted. He knew he was loved and he loved so many.
