  Mr. TRAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of 
Mr. Oscar Gutierrez, who passed away on June 3, 2026, surrounded by his 
family and loved ones. Oscar was a devoted husband and father, a 
distinguished attorney, and a cherished friend whose life was defined 
by service, integrity, and compassion.
  Mr. Gutierrez was born on November 13, 1983, in Glendale, California. 
He earned his bachelor's degree in communications from the University 
of Southern California before receiving his Juris Doctor from 
Pepperdine Caruso School of Law. He went on to build an exceptional 
career as a personal injury attorney, earning the respect of colleagues 
and clients alike through his skill, professionalism, and unwavering 
commitment to justice. Throughout his career, he fought tirelessly for 
those in need of a voice, while also mentoring aspiring attorneys and 
strengthening the legal profession through leadership, service, and an 
enduring dedication to the rule of law.
  Yet, of all his accomplishments, Oscar took the greatest pride in 
being a loving husband and father. His greatest legacy lives on through 
his family, the countless lives he touched, and the example he set by 
leading with kindness, humility, and purpose.
  Mr. Gutierrez is survived by his beloved wife, Breanna, and their two 
children, Roman and Bianca. As we remember his remarkable life, may we 
also honor his enduring commitment to justice, his compassion for 
others, and the lasting impact he made on everyone who had the 
privilege of knowing him.
