Alexa was the wife of Ruffa’s brother, Elvis Gutierrez, and died at the young age of 38.

Sharing heartfelt photos of their time together, Ruffa marked what would have been Alexa’s birthday with a moving message.

“Today isn’t just the first of July — it’s Alexa’s birthday. As I write this, tears are falling down my face. I miss you so much, and I still can’t believe you’re no longer with us,” she wrote.

She asked Alexa to continue watching over their family, especially her husband Elvis and their children, Aria and Ezra, as well as Tito Joel and Alexa’s loved ones.

“Please watch over all of us — especially Elvis, Aria, Ezra, Tito Joel, and your family.”

“Happy birthday in heaven, Lex. You will forever live in our hearts. Until we meet again. Love, Ate.”

Alexa’s death last year left the Gutierrez family and friends heartbroken. She was remembered not only as a devoted wife and mother, but also as a kind-hearted and loving member of the family who brought joy to those around her.
