Mark G. Gonzales

Mark was a mentor and one of my best friends for about six years while we both worked at Richfield MetroDentalcare.
His illness and passing came at a time when we drifted apart after he took a Job closer to his home.
Mark was a people person and had an amazing way of making those around him feel comfortable. This was a great skill for a dentist.
I have many great memories of Mark and miss his friendship often. We laughed a lot playing golf together and enjoyed many trips to...

To the Gonzales family,
I was shocked and saddened by Dr. Gonzales's passing. I worked with him at Metro Dental for roughly 3yrs, first at the Richfield office and then at Savage when he transferred. I have not kept in contact, so hearing of his passing was a surprise to me.
I was very lucky to have been able to work with Gonz (as we fondly called him) on a regular basis. I looked forward to my work days, knowing that it was going to be a fast paced day but also filled with...

I worked with Dr. Gonzales for many years at Metro Dentalcare. He was a wonderful person. We will miss you very much!

I'm a hygienist at Metro Dentalcare and the first time I met Mark was when he started working for us so very many years ago. I was actually in the chair having my tooth worked on... in walked Mark, never met him before (thinking who the "H" is this??), and he was assigned by Gustafson to numb my tooth. What impressed me and why do I remember this after sooooo many years? He is the ONLY dentist who has been successful in numbing my miserable mouth! Now that is something you never forget!

We were very saddened to hear about Mark. Mark was a wonderful, kind person with a gentle and generous heart and it was a pleasure and honor to know him.

It was an honor to know Mark! His steady determination to live as well as he could for as long as he could shaped so many of his actions and interactions these past couple of years.

Mark's devotion to his family, the family of his birth, shared with dear siblings and the family he created with Shanna and the boys was enormous. These loved ones were his treasure.

He lived with a generous spirit, a warm heart and an unbeatable smile!

He leaves a beautiful...

I was deeply saddened to hear about Mark. I was one of his high school friends and have very fond memories. My prayers go out to his family. Although I had not seen him in many years, Mark will forever be remembered as "little Mark" from our days at Holmes High.

I was so sad to hear this news. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Shanna and the boys and the rest of the family. I missed him when you moved and will miss him even more now, but he will always be in my thoughts. I so enjoyed working for him.
