Gregory Gutowski
In Loving Memory of
Gregory LeRoy “Frog” Gutowski
Born January 7, 1963 – Entered into rest September 4th, 2025
Greg “Frog” Gutowski, age 62, of Ottawa, Illinois, was a man whose deep voice gave him his nickname and whose kindness made it unforgettable.
Greg worked in construction before finding a passion for woodworking, creating intricate, one-of-a-kind projects. He loved his Harleys, music in the garage, and lived with a spirit of adventure—even skydiving just to say he did it. In later years, his faith became a source of strength and peace.
Known for his positivity, loyalty, and generous heart, Greg never hesitated to help others. He leaves behind his daughter Heather Gutowski-Link (Jamie), granddaughter Hailey, mother Eloise Gutowski, siblings Gail Sanchez (John) and Steve Gutowski (Cyndy), nieces and nephews Cody Sanchez (Katie), Adam Barnes (Jamie), and Brandy Rhode (Rich), Lucas Gutowski (Kate) and his beloved dog, Fawn. He was preceded in death by his sister Julie Grivetti (Bill).
He will be dearly missed, but his laughter and love will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
Please join us as we honor and celebrate the life of Greg “Frog” Gutowski.
