Adan & Florisa Gonzales

Adan graduated from Taft High School and was the co-founder of the Company Tri-Mex Painting. "Donnie" would drive all over Corpus Christi, down to the Valley, and all around South Texas area to put in bids for jobs in professional buildings, hospitals, and government offices. Donnie's master craftsmanship will live forever in those walls. When Donnie first started his business, he focused on the residential aspect, and his customers did not mind being on a waiting list because he was the best. He had a real passion for his work, and also for mentoring many young men in the business, and being a good father figure. In fact, he became like a second-dad to several of them.

Donnie enjoyed hunting, fishing, and his volunteer work at the food pantry. Donnie will be remembered for the love of his family and service to his community, and his deep faith in God. He had a quiet nature about him, but was a very generous man. He especially liked taking his family on special trips and outings. He enjoyed family get togethers, boxing nights, and loved listening to music, and dancing.

Adan is preceded in death by his parents, Ernesto and Amanda Gonzales; siblings: Irene (Manuel) Castillo, Israel Gonzales, George Gonzales, Eloy Gonzales, Richard Gonzales and David (Olivia) Gonzales.

He is survived by his children Adam (Monica) Gonzales, Jr. and Eva Gonzales Wooldridge;

Siblings: Adrian (Maggie) Gonzales, Javier (Yvonne) Gonzales, Reymundo (Susana) Gonzales, and Pauline Martinez; grandchildren: Eric Casanova, Avelina Casanova, Marcus Gonzales, Michael Gonzales, Tristan Gonzales, Bradley Wooldridge, and Savannah Gonzales; Sister-in-laws: Oralia Gonzales, Estella Gonzales, and Mary Lou Gonzales.

A memorial service for Adan & Florisa will be held jointly, Saturday, February 12, 2022 at 10:00 AM at Funeraria Del Angel Everhart, 4901 Everhart Rd, Corpus Christi, Texas 78411.

Florisa D. Gonzales, age 71, of Taft, Texas entered into Eternity with her precious Savior on Tuesday, February 8, 2022. Florisa was born December 31, 1950 in Taft, Texas to Gilberto Diaz and Martha Guzman Diaz.

The mother that everyone called "Mom". She came to everyone's rescue. She opened her door to anyone that needed a place to stay. Flora was lively, and was everyone's best friend. Flora devoted her life to her children and grandchildren. Her life-long career was a professional stay-at-home mom, and she thrived at that job. Flora was a hot commodity, as she was so easy to get along with and was the best mom, grandma, and decorator hands down. She was that grandma that would immediately climb onto the trampoline with you if you wanted her to, or sit down and play doll dress-up time, or even tea parties. Flora loved to exercise, go jogging at the track, and cooking for everyone. Often Donnie and Flora would hold praise and worship gatherings in their own home, and mom cooked for all in attendance. Flora also cooked for all the food pantry volunteers that she and Donnie served with. Their home, was your home, and all were welcomed. Adan built their home beautifully just for his bride to enjoy. Donnie and Flora were a perfect match made in heaven.

Florisa is survived by her son Adam (Monica) Gonzales; and her daughter Eva Diaz Wooldridge; siblings: Dora Garza of Corpus Christi, Oralia Gonzales of Corpus Christi, Rosa Nieto, Irene (Mark) Carey of Pearland, TX, Connie (Margie Salinas) Diaz of Angleton, TX, Guadalupe (Doris Garcia) Diaz of Alice, TX, Gilbert (Diana) Diaz, Jr. of Corpus Christi, Joe (Lorena) Diaz, of Angleton, Texas, Ester (Jack) Dillingham of Corpus Christi, Israel Diaz.
