The light our departed loved ones leave behind will always shine bright. And this proves true as Elvis Gutierrez remembers Alexa Gutierrez through his tearful eulogy.
Elvis Gutierrez Shares Emotional Eulogy For Alexa Gutierrez
"I’ve never loved like that before and I don’t think I ever will."
On July 28, 2024, the Gutierrez clan announced the passing of Alexa, the wife of Elvis and daughter-in-law of Eddie Gutierrez and Annabelle Rama.
Since then, Ruffa Gutierrez, along with other members of the family, have posted tributes on social media for Alexa. As she was laid to rest, Ruffa shared clips from the funeral, including Elvis's eulogy for Alexa.
In the video, Elvis declares how Alexa showed him a unique and irreplaceable love. "She gave me so much love. I mean, 'yung nga, 'yung love niya for me, I have never felt it before. You know, like one time, she gave me a surprise party. Nobody has given me a surprise party before and I felt so special because, 'yun nga, she arranged it. She gathered all of my friends and I went there, and I almost cried. And I remember like how much I appreciate it forever. Kasi nobody has loved me like that before, has thought about me like that before, na she just wants me to be the happiest all the time."
He goes on to talk about Alexa's faith, which remained steadfast through the ups and downs. "I saw her last moment, so I questioned everything. I tried to pray but I couldn’t. I always pray to the Lord before. 'Thank you, Lord, for everything because I have a beautiful family. Thank you, Lord, for this family.' But that day, I couldn’t utter the words, 'Thank you, Lord.' But I know that Alexa wouldn’t want it that way because Alexa fought till the very, very end. Her faith was as strong as ever until her last, last, last glimpse of light. I have her cellphone with me and I saw that she had Bible verses on the day even when she was in the ICU, ready for her to read, for her to be empowered with."
Elvis said that what Alexa taught him would guide him in raising their two children. "So I think the lesson she gave me is, don't ever think that way, that don't let your faith waver. Don't question it because you have to be strong in it, because that’s how I did it. And, yeah, that's how I am planning to raise my two girls, Ezra and Aria, according to Alexa. How she was positive, empowering, loving. Basically, she taught me how to love so hard. I've never loved like that before and I don't think I ever will."
"That's why from young love to eternal love. Until my last breath, baby, I will see you again. I love you so much," ends Elvis.

For Lorin, Alexa as a wife served as a glowing example. "Tito Elvis and Tita Alexa instilled in me at an early age what a healthy, real, and resilient love looks like."
"She has influenced me in so many different aspects...if I were to stand here and share every memory with Tita Alexa, I would be speaking for months," Lorin also says, celebrating Alexa's positive personality.
She ends her eulogy by saying, "I am okay with carrying the pain of losing you for the rest of my life because instead of looking at it as hurt, I will instead use it as a constant reminder of how much I love you, Tita Alexa."
