Joe Gonzales lived a life defined by service, strength, and devotion. Born into a large family, he learned early the value of unity, hard work, and love — lessons he faithfully passed down to his beloved wife Phyllis, his daughter Mary, and his sons Joseph, Robert, and David.
With over 20 years of proud service in the U.S. Air Force, and a distinguished career in law enforcement and federal agencies thereafter, Joe’s life was a testament to discipline, duty, and an unwavering commitment to protecting those he loved. Yet beneath his strong and steady exterior was a man of great patience, gentleness, and deep, unconditional love.
A pillar for his grandchildren and a steady hand for all who needed him, Joe never hesitated to show up, to offer forgiveness, and to lead by example. A man of faith, family, and enduring dependability, he leaves behind a legacy that will be cherished forever.
He is deeply loved and will be profoundly missed.
