Vidal Gonzalez Jr.

He entered eternal rest on May 22, 2024, at the age of 80, surrounded by his loving family. He was a wonderful brother, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend to many.

Born on January 22, 1944, in Robstown, Texas, he lived a full and vibrant life in Houston, Texas. He and his beloved wife, Angelita raised six children. Though they were separated in death when Angelita lost her battle with cancer in 1988. His love & devotion never wavered for her. They are reunited in eternal peace with Christ Jesus, their Lord and Savior.

Our dad was a hard-working painter contractor and had many interests and passions throughout his life, including fishing, dancing, and later in life, traveling. He spent many joyful years exploring new places with his family and friends. Known for his spicy homemade salsa that he shared with us each time he visited us. Additionally, Dad had a knack for tinkering with things. His philosophy was "If it can be fixed, why buy a new one?" He had a smile as big as his heart and will be missed dearly. His legacy will live on through his family.

Vidal is survived by children, Vidal Gonzales, III , (Beth), Gina Santos, (Elias), Carrie Mena, (Alex), Kristen Escobedo, (Sergio), Melodie Rodriguez, (Rolando), Gabriel Gonzales, (Susie); and grandchildren, Ryan, (Sarah), Natalie, (Brian), Stephen, Alyssa, Matthew, Kaelynn, Jeremy, Christopher, Ashley, Alexandria, Carmelo, Julia, Xavier, Beni, Bella , Daniela, Diego, Aaliyah and Isaiah.
