An Army soldier and father of three who grew up in San Jose was killed in
Afghanistan on Christmas Day, according to the U.S. Department of Defense.
Staff Sgt. David H. Gutierrez, 35, died Friday after suffering injuries when
insurgents attacked his dismounted patrol with an improvised explosive
device near the village of Howz-e Madad. He was taken to Kandahar Air Field
where he was pronounced dead.
Gutierrez served the Army in South Korea, Hawaii and Thailand before being
deployed to Afghanistan in 2005. He moved his wife, Patty, and three young
sons to Fort Lewis, Wash., in late 2006, where he was assigned to the 2nd
Infantry Division. He joined a football league there, the South Sound
Shockers, where he played fullback in evening practices.
"I wish I had an entire team of Gutie's," head coach Steve Matychowiak said
on the www.shockersfootball.org Web site. "I have never heard him complain
about playing time. He's always working hard at practice. He recruits new
players for us, even if it diminishes his own playing time and he does
anything we ask him to do. He is what the Shockers are all about. Team
before the individual."
The team was set to present him with a "Black Lion Award" upon his return
from Afghanistan next month.
Gutierrez attended San Jose City College in the mid-1990s and met his wife,
Patty, in Las Vegas. They had three sons.
In July 2009, David was given orders to deploy to Afghanistan, where he was
on a mission with the 5th Strykers Unit when he was killed.
