Jose "Joe" Rogelio Gonzales of Ridgecrest, CA passed away on Sunday, September 15 2024.

Joe was born on February 25, 1971 in Ridgecrest, CA. His family was very important to him. He loved spending time with all the nieces and nephews as well as his great niece and nephew. He enjoyed playing the family tradition games Loteria, Pictionary, and Left-Center-Right. Our Brother, Joe also really enjoyed the outdoors. He would load his motor home with all his fishing gear, outdoor games, and of course lots of food, (he loved his steaks) and spent weekends hanging out by the lake. Sometimes with friends other times with family. Anybody that knew our brother knew he loved NASCAR races. The number 1 car, no matter who drove it, that was who he followed. The Miami Dolphins and Star Wars were another two of his many favorites. We're going to miss him dearly.

He was preceded in death by our Dad, Joseph O. Gonzales, and his grandmothers Joaquina Puebla and Ruth Fierro.
