Mr. Gomez was an avid Dallas Cowboys and San Antonio Spurs fan.  He was the perfect example of a husband and father that worked hard to provide for his family. He was dearly loved and adored by his wife, children, grandchildren, and extended family members. He touched the lives of many people with his smile and generosity and always maintained his trademark sense of humor.

He will truly be missed, but we can take comfort that he is now resting in Heavenly peace with Father God, our Savior Jesus Christ. Our memories and love for him will forever remain in our hearts.
