Arizona Historymaker Alfredo Gutierrez Celebration of Life

 Celebration of Life for Arizona Historymaker Alfredo Gutierrez was an amazing tribute to him.

Daniel Gonzalez and Wren Smetana Arizona Republic | USA TODAY NETWORK

People gathered on the afternoon of Oct. 26 at the Salvation Army Kroc Center in Phoenix for a celebration of the life of Alfredo Gutiérrez, a progressive political leader whose influence in Arizona spanned decades. h Gutiérrez died July 29 from cancer. He was 79. Gutiérrez’s life was filled with many roles — Army private, civil rights activist, state lawmaker, Arizona Senate majority and minority leader, gubernatorial candidate, political consultant and radio host, among others — linked by his desire to improve the lives of immigrants and increase access to education.
