Gilbert is survived by his brother Leonardo Romo (Susana), sister Aurora Romo, sister Mary Romo, brother Rick Romo, brother Luis Romo (Irene), sister Olga Romo, brother Rolando Romo, sister Janie Romo and sister Mary Cabrera (Armando).
Gilbert was preceded in death by; his father Isabel "Chavelo" Romo; baby sister Maria Elena Romo; sister Maria Elena Ramirez (+Dionicio); brother Jose Angel Romo; brother Juan Antonio Romo and brother Jesus Romo.
Gilbert was a loving son always willing to help out in every occasion. From decorating houses for the holiday's, prepping meals for parties, or fundraisers. His specialty was his famous potato salad.
He helped raise and take care of Lisa and Nicho and he was like a father to Destiny and Desire, Gilbert was a great uncle to many. He would joke with love and he would fight with Arielle over 'the chair" and we all knew he had the final decision of who's pictures would go on the fridge. He was full of life and attitude. Gilbert will greatly be missed by all who knew him and he will forever hold a special place in all of his families hearts.
