Pedro Gonzalez Obituary

Pedro "Pete" Gonzalez, our loving Husband, Father, Grandpa, Brother, Tio, Friend and so much more to so many people was called to heaven peacefully on Saturday October 12, 2019 at his home surrounded by family. He was an incredible influence on so many people in the short 55 years he was with us. Pete was born in Rupert, Idaho in 1964 to Pedro and Guadalupe Rodriguez-Gonzalez, he fought against sudden cancer complications that flipped our world upside down. He is survived by his wife, Janet; children: Brian, Pete Jr. "Bubba/Gordo", Vanessa "Princess" and Mariah "Angel". Along with his siblings: Silvia, Daniel, Jose, Ana, Lionel, Rudy and Daniel Jr. and most importantly his 8 grandchildren and those that looked up to him as a father figure and mentor. Pete was joined in heaven with his mother, father and little brother, Rudy.
Pete welcomed anyone that walked through his front door with open arms and a warm smile. He loved the Sunday gatherings with family, rooting on his favorite football team, the Pittsburg Steelers. He also enjoyed hunting, camping and fishing trips that included of a life time of laughs. He taught his children that family is the most important in life and encouraged all of us to stick together.
A special thanks to all that showed their support and love during this difficult time. Pete touched so many lives with his kindness and compassion.
He truly was a man of steel.

My father was the most amazing man. Being the baby of the family, I was exceptionally close with him. He will forever be my main man. Sometimes life is unfair and like my dad said 'don't stress over what can't be changed'. Although, a piece of hearts is taken away, his memory lives forever. To my jefe, I love you beyond this earth, you will always be my best friend and my future children will know what amazing their grandpa once was. Our life right now is like a bad dream that we can't wake up from, we will get through this together. I still imagine me walking through the front door and you saying 'hello, my beautiful baby'. At 25, I would still hug on you and hold your arm while walking through stores. You are missed, dad. I would give the world to have you back. Our rock, the glue to our family and our man of steel. I love you and I can't wait until the day we meet again.

What a beautiful smile...proud is what I see...I only really know his son Brian, along with his family. I know through Brian and Brooke, all the joy and strength he brought to their family as a true Patriarch...it is also obvious from FB posts how much his family, and friends loved him. I am sorry for your loss, there are never words to make it better, but knowing he is with God and all who went before him I hope brings you comfort...

I remember one night we were fishing at the dam we were walking back to the truck on the dam walk way and a black mink came up one of the sets of steps and we chased it. It turns around and starts charging us we ran the other way and just started to laugh. Another time we were deer hunting in sublette and we were walking along the side of the hill. He didn't know I was walking below him, we both spotted the deer and raised our rifles to shoot. Pete shotand I hit the ground cause the bullet went above me I yelled at him I'm below you. He said he was sorry cause he couldn't see me. He got the deer and we dressed it and loaded it in the trunk and headed home. When we got to his mom's. ,and skinned it. I told him we need to wash it off. I was thinking he was going to grab the garden hose. I was wrong he hauled into the house and put it in the bathtub and rinsed it. Gonna miss you buddy
