Daniel Gomez

He graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1966 and later moved to Kansas City, KS where it all began with two. There he would meet the love of his life for 52-years-Carmen Gomez. Married on June 4th, 1970 they would go on to share an inseparable bond building a foundation of family, love, and happiness. Dan wanted to recreate the unity and teachings of family and the love he experienced growing up. Dan and Carmen were blessed with six children.

Dan worked in the automotive-dealer industry for 45 years, where his presence was felt everywhere he went. He was known and loved by many.
