Angel worked for Alamo Concrete in Austin as a ready-mix truck driver for over 30 years. After his retirement from Alamo Concrete, he continued his career with Gutierrez trucking in Maxwell for ten more years until completely retiring.
In his spare time, he loved to be surrounded by his family. He was an outdoorsman and loved to just sit outside and enjoy the great outdoors. He enjoyed watching western movies featuring cowboys and Indians and loved playing Lotto Scratch-Off. He also enjoyed watching his Texas Longhorn Football and Dallas Cowboys on Sundays. Angel will be dearly missed.
