Joe "JJ" Gonzales Jr.

JJ was born to Joe Gonzales Sr. and Carmen Gonzales, November 6, 1980, in Houston, TX. He married Jacqueline Gonzales on the wedding date 04/21/2012 and Happily renewed their 10th Wedding Anniversary on 04/21/2022. They lived together in Houston, TX. Together they were Blessed with 2 children and an extended family: Josephine Rodriguez, mother-in-law, Jesus Rodriguez Jr., father-in-law, Jimmy Rodriguez, brother-in-law, Gloria Garcia, sister-in-law and Herbert Bradford Jr., brother-in-law.

JJ is survived by: His wife Jacqueline Gonzales, Children: Joe, Cassandra, Jheremiah and Jherzie Gonzales. He also leaves to cherish his memory sibling: Vina Gonzales-Bradford, and nephew Saibeis Rodriguez.

He was preceded in death by Carmen Gonzales, his mother, and Joe Gonzales Sr. , his father.

JJ worked as a Heat Treat Technician for many companies for 15 years. He enjoyed recently working with IHTS. His job was his second home. JJ was a strong believer that a real man should provide for his family, and so he did with pride. As he would say “Wrap Pipe, Cash Checks!”

His children were his world. He loved them deeply and brought him so much joy! He would do anything and stop nothing. His heart was golden for them.

He was very family oriented and always made sure to keep them happy and loved. He cherished his friends and family - any time was a great time in his eyes.

He was also actively involved in any outdoor activities. He loved to BBQ and feed everyone. He loved his garage (ManCave) where he hosted and slammed down a cold Busch Light while dancing and singing to his favorite songs. He was always ready for Game Days and a bet to back him up. JJ was the life to the party - it was never a dull moment with him in your presence.

He was the kind of man who would want any and everyone to know he had them at any given time. JJ loved and loved hard.

Everyone who remembers him is asked to celebrate JJ’s life in their own way, raising a glass of their favorite drink in his memory would be quite appreciated. As JJ would say “It’s Going Down!”

A visitation is scheduled for 08/02/2023, 5-9 pm at Forest Park Lawndale 6900 Lawndale St. Houston, TX. 77023. Herbert Bradford Jr. will officiate the ceremony. The family would also like to thank each and everyone of you for your love, support and prayers during this time.
