Give Julio Gonzalez the Farewell He Deserves

Dear family and friends,

My name is Brenda Gonzalez, and I am my father’s middle child. I will be running this fundraiser on behalf of my mom and my two brothers, Julio and Ramon. We lost my dad unexpectedly to a mechanic accident—something he loved dearly. He was always under a hood, and if he could, he would be outside working all hours of the night. He was the best father I could’ve asked for and a beloved father to five children and four grandchildren.

He was the life of the party and always had a smile on his face. He was constantly making a fool of himself just to make everyone laugh. He loved to dance and crack jokes. He was a giver who always helped others with their car troubles, and he’d give the shirt off his back for anyone he loved. I could go on and on about the wonderful, charismatic, and positive soul he was. We will miss him dearly and hope to grant him his final wish of returning to his home country for his final resting place.

To help alleviate the financial burden we are facing, we have started a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for his funeral services. Any contribution, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated and will allow us to give my dad the memorial he deserves. Thank you for your compassion and support during these incredibly difficult times.

"It is was a profound sadness that I share the news of my beloved husband, Julio Gonzalez, who passed away unexpectedly on 12/06/2024. Our family is devastated by the sudden loss and we are struggling to cover the costs of his funeral arrangements which will take place in Manzanillo, Colima." -Joanna Gonzalez

With love and gratitude,

Brenda Gonzalez
