Daniel Gutierrez, Jr., lovingly known as "Nino," 20, of Bethlehem, passed away unexpectedly on August 14, 2026. Born on July 22, 2006, in Bethlehem, Nino was a young man who was deeply loved by his family and friends and will be remembered for the happiness and laughter he brought into their lives.

Nino was the beloved son of Daniel Gutierrez, Sr. and Melisa Gutierrez. He was a loving brother to Patricia Gutierrez, Desire Gutierrez, Elizabeth Gutierrez, Daniel Stuart, Ashley Cruz, and Colleen Harvilla and her husband Joseph Harvilla, and a fun and caring uncle to his nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his maternal grandmother, Constance Cruz, and his devoted girlfriend, Natalie. At home, Nino was rarely far from his beloved cat, Mickey, who was always by his side.

Nino attended Liberty High School and later worked at WingStop in Bethlehem. To his friends, he was Dani; a familiar face, a good friend, and someone who enjoyed simply being around the people he cared about. He had a way of making ordinary moments memorable and was happiest when he was spending time with the people closest to him.

Nino had a passion for cars and especially loved his blue Honda Civic, taking pride in his car and enjoying anything related to cars. He also enjoyed playing video games and spending time with Natalie, his family, and his friends. Whether he was talking about cars, playing games, hanging out, or simply enjoying a day with the people he loved, it was those everyday moments that meant the most to him.

Nino leaves behind a family and many friends who loved him dearly. He will be missed for his smile, his personality, his sense of humor, and all the little things that made him who he was. His family and friends will carry those memories with them and will always be grateful for the time they had with Nino.
