David Ray Gutermuth, 73, of Nacogdoches, Texas, passed away peacefully on November 16, 2020 in Nacogdoches, Texas. He was born on February 3, 1947 in Fort Worth, Texas, to the late Aylette Gutermuth and Marta Louise (Gartrell) Gutermuth.

Visitation will be held prior to the service Saturday, November 21, 2020, beginning at 10AM, at Laird Funeral Home.
David lived a cheerful life as a humble and faithful servant. His love for his wife and family was evident to all who knew him. He enjoyed a good joke and harassing grandkids on who was better looking. He made sure everyone knew there was no better fisherman alive. The fish feared him…… in his own mind! David never missed an opportunity to share his love of Jesus. He led many strangers to Christ. There is no doubt he is by his side now.
