Carlos Pedro Gonzalez, 59, was born on May 4, 1964, in California to Perla and Guillermo Gonzalez. Carlos entered into eternal rest on March 27, 2024, in Los Angeles, California.
Carlos was a beloved figure in his community, known for his unwavering dedication to his family, friends, and faith. His love for his family and friends was evident in the way he tirelessly kept in touch with them, always eager to connect and share in their joys and sorrows.
At the heart of Carlos's life was his deep involvement with St. Benedict Church. As a Eucharistic Minister and altar server, he played an active role in fostering a sense of community and spirituality within the parish. His commitment to serving others was a reflection of his strong faith in God and his belief in the power of love and peace.
In all aspects of his life, Carlos exemplified patience, kindness, and an open heart. His genuine warmth and compassion touched the lives of everyone he encountered, leaving a lasting impression wherever he went. His genuine interest in others and his willingness to lend a listening ear endeared him to all who knew him.
Carlos's passion for coffee was legendary, and Mariposa Bakery was his daily haven. But it wasn't just about the caffeine fix; it was about the connections he made. Carlos took the time to chat with the workers and fellow customers, spreading warmth and kindness wherever he went. Mariposa Bakery wasn't just a stop on his way to work; it was a cherished part of his day, where he found not just coffee, but community.
Above all, Carlos's legacy is one of love, connection, and service. He touched the lives of countless individuals with his gentle spirit and genuine warmth, leaving behind a community that is richer for having known him. Though he may no longer be with us, his memory lives on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to call him friend.
Carlos is survived by his loving family: Brothers, Henry Gonzalez (Nikki) of Oklahoma, Eduardo Gonzalez(Theresa) of Downey, Alberto Gonzalez(Carlota) of Texas, Luis Gonzalez(Nancy) of California, Joe Gonzalez(Carol) of Washington and numerous nieces and nephews, along with other family and friends who will miss him dearly.
Carlos was a man whose heart overflowed with affection for his cherished companions, Bishop and Princess. Bishop, his faithful four-legged friend, crossed the rainbow bridge a few years ago, leaving behind memories etched deeply in Carlos's heart. Carlos kept Bishop's ashes close, a testament to the enduring bond they shared.
Princess, his loyal canine confidante, remained by his side, offering unwavering love and companionship until the end. To Carlos, Bishop and Princess weren't just pets; they were his beloved children, bringing joy, laughter, and unconditional love into his life.
Carlos was reunited at the gates of Heaven by his Father, Guillermo, Mother, Perla, Brothers, Guillermo, Pablo and Father Luke, Sisters, Esther and Mercedes, and his devoted furry family member, Bishop.
