Elijah Thomas Gomez

Elijah was born on February 22, 2002, in San Jose, California. He was a beloved son, father, brother, grandson, and friend whose life reflected kindness, compassion, and a heart for serving others. Elijah faithfully volunteered with Selma Community Outreach Ministries, where he dedicated his time to the homeless shower ministry, offering practical help, encouragement, and Christ-like love to those in need.

Elijah's greatest joy was his family. He leaves behind his loving parents, Frank Ezekiel Gomez and Ramona Gomez; his twin sisters, Grace Gomez and Trinity Gomez; his cherished daughter, Akacia Eliora Louise Smith Gomez; and his grandmother, Anna Delgado. He was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Though our hearts grieve his passing, we take comfort in God's promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Elijah's faith, gentle spirit, and caring heart touched many lives and will continue to be remembered by family, friends, and those he served.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at 10:00 am on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at Whitehurst Sullivan Burns & Blair Funeral Home, 836 E. Nees Ave., Fresno CA 93720.

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." — Psalm 34:18

Elijah's memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him, and we rejoice in the assurance that he is now at peace in the presence of the Lord.
