Albert Gonzales Sr., 81, died July 30, 2024, surrounded by family. Son of the late Joseph and Mollie (Weiss) Gonzales. Beloved husband of the late Jane D. (Andres) Gonzales. Loving Father of Denise Gonzales, Albert Jr. (Tiffany) Gonzales, and the late Taunya Gonzales-Wharton. Dear Grandfather/Pappy of Colby, Ryken, Carter, and Brady. Albert was one of 12 children and is survived by brothers, Armand “Punch” Gonzales, Howard Gonzales, Carl Gonzales, and his sisters, Linda Micklo, and Slyvia Hannen. Our Dad loved spending time with his family but he especially enjoyed snow-birding in Florida with his wife. Nothing brought him more joy than sharing the plan of salvation and how much Jesus loves them with anyone Dad had the opportunity to meet. While we will certainly miss having our Dad and Pappy, we take great comfort in knowing he is in heaven rejoicing with his Savior. He has been reunited with the love of his life, Jane and his precious daughter, Taunya along with so many others that he was able to share his faith and testimony with. He is now healed and renewed.
