Support for Brian Gonzales' Final Journey
Donation protected
On May 21st, 2024. The Gonzales family tragically lost their oldest son Brian Ray Gonzales.
Words can not begin to describe the enormity of the void that Brian leaves in their lives.
He was a most beloved son, always smiling, hopeful and full of joy. Always greeted his parents with a warm hug and smile. A rock for his siblings, who adored him for his silliness, his ability to make them smile, his playful manners, and his vulnerability that only siblings can begin to understand.
Brian recently became a father, and he was so excited at the opportunity to raise his boy. To spoil, and dote on him. He was an excellent father already at such a young age. He met this new role with determination, patience and care and most of all unwavering love of a protective father. Matteo Ray Gonzales, will always knows the enormity of his father's love for him.
Brian was a man of many skills and talents. A track athlete, a musician, a basketball star, a fighter, an incredible swimmer, a jokester, but the most important roles he played as son, brother, father, grandson, friend, cousin, nephew, is what he cared most of all.
It mattered to him to know that the people around him felt like they were seen and understood.
Today we are asking for your financial support to help the Gonzales family lay there beloved Brian to rest, and remember him. Any additional support will be used for his son in the next coming months. Brian our little social butterfly would want to be surrounded with all his loved ones. Theres not one person he met or knew him that he wouldn't want to personally hug or thank if he could.
Any financial support you offer is appreciated and no amount of words can truly express our gratitude.
The Gonzales family also wants to express that your emotional support and prayers are just as valuable to them, and we thank you for every message and every prayer lifted on their behalf.
Many of you may know that there are many fees associated with a gofundme. I have attached a venmo account where the monies will go directly to the family, immediately.
I am the cousin of Brian Rey Gonzales (deceased)
The funds will be immediately sent over to his parents each and every day monies are dropped into my account.
The monies will be used to pay for his funeral which is to be held in approximately 2 weeks.
Any money left over will be used to care for his 4-month-old son Mateo
With Great Appreciation,
The Gonzales Family
A Living Memorial has been created and attached below. This site will be updated with photos, messages and updates. Your memories and photos of Brian can soon be uploaded as well.
