The Gutierrez family is grieving the loss of their loved one, Alexandra Joelle Uichico-Gutierrez, wife of Elvis Gutierrez. On July 27, 2024, Alexa, who was battling leukemia, passed away at 38 years. Elvis is the son of Eddie Gutierrez and Annabelle Rama.


Ruffa Gutierrez announced her sister-in-law's passing with a heartwarming post, writing, 'I am still trying to process and accept that you are no longer with us. 💔 It’s so hard… 😭 Words cannot express how heartbroken and shocked I am.I love you so much my beautiful, irreplaceable Alexa.You will forever be in my thoughts and in my heart. Until we cross paths again… 🕊️'



Last July 1, Ruffa also posted a birthday greeting for Alexa, where she shared that Alexa (or Lex) had been battling leukemia for six months. Before that, back in January, Ruffa posted a tribute for her sister-in-law, revealing the latter's condition as a leukemia warrior.



Alexa's husband, Elvis, remembered his wife through a couple of photos on his Instagram feed; one of them is a photo of them together and the other one is an old photo of Alexa which Elvis shared was taken from the day she learned how to drive.

'You were 19 I was 22, this was the first day you learned how to drive. I wanted to capture how happy you were. You called me the best driving teacher. I miss you so much @alexaugutz,' captioned Elvis.




Mond Gutierrez posted a photo of Alexa with her two kids, writing, 'You will forever be in our hearts @alexaugutz 🤍'



Ruffa's daughters, Lorin and Venice, also paid tribute to their Tita Alexa.


Lorin posted on IG Stories some throwback photos, captioning, 'ill think about you every day i have left on this earth, til we meet again tita alexa.'


Venice likewise posted old photos with her Tita Lex on Instagram, accompanied by a lengthy caption: 'My dearest Tita Lex, nothing could have prepared me for how much I’ll miss you. It has been a privilege to have known you and been loved by you. I will pray every day that you are resting easy, I will pray for the kids and Tito Elvis, and I will make sure to be the best ate to your girls. Your passing has left a hole in this family that nothing will be able to fill. I am so grateful for all the memories we’ve shared. From you babysitting me since ‘07, introducing me to Nicki Minaj, and inspiring me to be the super cool teenage girl just like you when I was a little girl. I would do anything to relive those moments again. Thank you for taking care of me and mentoring me through hard times when I had nobody else to turn to. You always took the time out of your day to help and guide me through whatever I was facing. All the planned trips and tours we will never get to take, all the tx hotspots you have yet to show me. I will have the best time at uni for you and I will be praying to heaven and telling you about all the stories. You were always my biggest supporter and now my guardian angel. The most beautiful soul taken away from us too soon. I will see you again someday. I love you so much. 🕊️💜💛'

Lorin and Venice's father, Yilmaz Bektas, extended his condolences to the Gutierrez family through Instagram Stories. He also shared a photo of Alexa with her two daughters with the caption: 'May your soul rest in peace. I wish the place you go to is better than the place you left.'



Sarah Lahbati, who was part of this family as Richard Gutierrez's wife, also honored her 'sestra' or sister through a series of Instagram Stories posts. Sarah and Richard, however, have confirmed their split last March.



Although Annabelle Rama is yet to post on social media regarding her daughter-in-law Alexa's death, in January, she shared an emotional post on Instagram wherein she wrote that she was so affected by what happened to Alexa. 'Hindi parin ako makapaniwala. Kasi ang bait bait mong manugang at sobrang masinop sa asawa at mga anak mo... Alam mong hindi ako vocal sa nararamdaman ko pero alam kong alam mo na mahal kita na parang anak ko na.'



Alexa and Elvis got married in June 2015. They have two daughters, Aria and Ezra.


The Gutierrez family's publicist, Jun Lana, told ABS-CBN News that a necrological service will be offered on July 31 and that Alexa's remains will be cremated on Thursday, August 1.
