Luis Carlos Gutierrez Rojo fue un hombre que supo enamorar muchas mujeres siempre lleno de detalles y de bromas que a cualquiera lograba hacer reir. Le gustaba la fiesta y el futbol su equipo favorito era el america, le aposionaba el box disfrutaba una buena pelea al igual que cocinar. Un orgulloso Jaliciense que dios decidio llamar a su lado el 05 Junio del 2020.
Nos dejo con la promesa de pagarnos mucos abrazos y besos que por la distancia no podiamos recibir, pero con la fue que hoy descanza en paz a lado de su esposa, sus padres y hermanos asi como toda las personas que se nos adelantaron.
Confiamos en que dios un dia nos reunira a su lado.
