With the 18 years of life I have been blessed with I can count the amount of times with the 10 fingers I have, the chances I was given to make memories with you grandpa. Even though, I am saddened at how little chances we had to spend together, I am grateful for every single one of them. God has his reasons for taking away the ones we love most and although, I miss you immensely I know that your in a better place now. To me you will always be remembered as a survivor because that’s what you are. Never giving up on life when thrown the most difficult obstacles. This one was caught by surprise and sadly couldn’t be beaten. You will truly be missed by your granddaughter & the rest of the family you have here in LA. Gonzalez isn’t just a name, but something more to me. Something that one day I will be able to show the true meaning of what a Gonzalez is made of & capable of. Tell Jesse I love & miss him lots with a hug & kiss for me. Take care care of him & I’ll see you guys up there one day. This isn’t a goodbye, but a see you later grandpa. I love you, te amo, forever & always

I am lost of words 😢 to know that we will no longer be seeing you on your trips here to California hurts all of us. You always had an amazing personality with a smile on your face. I have to say I’ve been blessed to have called you my brother n law and to have grown a relationship with you that had so many laughters together. The kids are going to miss you so much especially your brother (twin) who loves you with all his heart. All your family, siblings & mother are very heart broken they couldn’t be by your side 😢😢 We love you Jesse & please look over everyone.
