Evan Gomez Obituary

Evan Michael Gomes

Feb. 5, 1988 - Oct. 29, 2017

Castroville

Evan Michael Gomes, loving son, brother, grandson, nephew and a friend of many, passed away suddenly Sunday, Oct. 29, 2017, from a short illness.

Evan was born Feb. 5, 1988, in Castroville. He graduated from North Monterey County High and then went on to complete the Aircraft Maintenance Program at Gavilan College. He had a natural curiosity and talent for anything mechanical or constructed and spent many hours helping out friends or family on anything in need of repair.

Evan served his community through participation in Young Farmers & Ranchers and by serving on the barn committee for the Salinas California Rodeo.

He was preceded in death by his father, Frank Gomes, Jr. in 2015 and by his grandfathers, Ronald Kienbaum in 2003 and Frank Gomes Sr. in 2006.

He is survived by his loving mother, Rhonda Gomes; his brothers, Gregory, Trey and Graham (Jalima); his grandmothers, Shirley Kienbaum, Joyce Gomes, Martha Cabatu-Kienbaum, and by many aunts, uncles, cousins and countless friends. We will all miss him dearly.

A Service will be held at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 8, 2017, at the Monterey County Sheriff's Posse Grounds, located at 395 Old Natividad Road in Salinas. A celebration of his life will take place following the service.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Rancho Cielo or to your favorite charity in Evan's name.
