Enrique Gonzalez, 58, an honorable, remarkably hardworking Single Parent and Engineer passed away on Tuesday, September 28, 2021. Born on December 30, 1962, in Chicago, Illinois, Enrique was a beloved son to the late Arturo and Gloria Gonzalez. He is survived by his most loved and cherished son, Christopher M. Gonzalez; his sisters, Oralia Diaz, Esther Gerena, Elba Nag and husband, Abhijit, and brothers, Fernando Gonzalez and wife, Shirley, Reynaldo Gonzalez and wife, Marlen, and Hector Gonzalez, as well as numerous nephews and nieces.
Enrique knew no strangers, always with an infectious smile, a mention must be made of friends too numerous to name from Independence Hill Resort and Marquis Bandera Apartments. His family and friends made his life joyful, filled it with conversation, and helped him meed out comfort in his last days with us. Enrique’s most valued accomplishment as he said was fathering a remarkably good son with whom he enjoyed playing video games and fishing. Enrique loved his son, Chris, and set an exemplary work ethic for Chris. Chris at his Dad’s side taking care of his every need even until his father’s death demonstrates his father’s diligence in raising a good child. Enrique’s other accomplishments were an Associate Degree in High Rise Building Management and Maintenance. An impressive work history of 36 years with various companies includes Tenneco Inc., Exxon, Shell Oil, Lifecell, and UTSA. A more reliable, trustworthy, and diligent employee despite being a loving and caring single parent cannot go unmentioned. A greater love of Father and Son cannot be understated.
As hobbies Enrique enjoyed cooking, gardening, movies, chess, video games, and fishing. His infectious smile, well remembered, will forever be imprinted in our minds. Our Dear father, brother, and friend will not be forgotten. He will be missed. And all our fine memories of him will keep him alive for us and motivate us to move forward as he did time and time again with his smile until he could no more. May he rest in peace with Mom and Dad, siblings, and other beloved family. A visitation for Enrique will be held Friday, October 15, 2021 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Sunset North Funeral Home, 910 North Loop 1604 East, San Antonio, TX 78232, followed by a funeral service from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
