Jose Manuel Gomez

February 11, 1949 – July 1, 2025

With love and deep sorrow, we celebrate the life of “Meme” (Manuel), who passed on to eternal life on July 1, 2025, at the age of 76.

Born in Ozatlán, El Salvador, Meme was a man of strength, humility, and enduring love for his family. His life was a reflection hard work, quiet wisdom, and unwavering faith.

Meme found great joy working with livestock and agriculture during his youth in El Salvador. He carried that same love for the land, animals including his favorite oxen - Marfil and Carey, and simple, honest work with him throughout his life.

He is survived by his loving wife, Delmy, and his immediate family: Memito (Jose), Miguel, Melissa Ledesma, and Ana Delgado. He was a proud father-in-law to Nicole and Luis, a devoted grandfather to Sebastian, Nicholas, Emerson, Cristian, Liana, Adrian, Zoe, Victor, Enrique, Jennifer, K'Love, Sarahi, Isamar, Cloe and Mary, and a joyful great-grandfather to Gianni.

Meme is also survived by his brothers Joaquin, Chago, Oscar, and Noé, sister Inez, and is fondly remembered by extended family and numerous friends in Houston and Ozatlán, whose lives were touched by his warmth, generosity, quiet strength and friendship.

He was preceded in death by twin son and daughter Jose Guillermo and Maria Angelica, parents Manuel de Jesus and Maria Inez, and niece Karla Ivette Posada, and brother Lico.

His legacy lives on through the love he gave, the values he instilled, and the memories he created with all who knew him.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
