Gabriel Gonzalez Alvares

Gabriel Gonzalez Alvares, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and brother, passed away on June 19, 2025, in Perris, California, at the age of 60. Born on January 18, 1965, in Michoacan, Mexico, Gabriel was a man of great vigor and love, who embraced life with passion and a deep sense of joy.
Gabriel's early life in Mexico was filled with the warmth of a close-knit family, including his devoted parents, Antonio and Maria Gonzalez, and his six siblings, Esperanza, Sandra, Gerardo, Tony, and Delfino. His formative years were spent in the embrace of a vibrant and supportive family that would shape the caring and generous man he would become.
In his youth, Gabriel was an avid learner, completing his education through the 11th grade, demonstrating an early dedication to his personal development. His work ethic was evident from a young age and would be a defining characteristic throughout his life. Gabriel carried this trait into his professional life, where he served as a Lot Porter for a Collision company for over seven years. His colleagues knew him as a man of integrity and diligence, always willing to lend a hand and share a smile.
Beyond his professional achievements, Gabriel was a man of profound faith. His Christian beliefs were the cornerstone of his life, guiding his actions and interactions with everyone he met. He lived his faith through his actions, always striving to embody the love and compassion at the heart of his beliefs.
Gabriel's love for the great outdoors was undeniable. He was a true outdoorsman, with a particular fondness for hunting, riding horses, and embracing the ranch life. His happiest moments were spent in the San Diego Mountains, where he felt most at peace with the world. His connection to nature was a testament to his appreciation for life's simple pleasures and the beauty of the world around him.
Family was the center of Gabriel's universe. He was a loving husband for over 45 years to his wife, Maria Leticia Gonzalez, with whom he shared a lifetime of memories and unwavering support. Together, they raised a beautiful family, including their children, Eduardo Gonzalez, the late Cesar Gonzalez, and Gabriela Gonzalez. Gabriel's legacy lives on through his five adoring grandchildren, who will forever cherish their time with him.
Those who knew Gabriel would describe him as loving, humble, thoughtful, and generous. He had a heart that knew no bounds, and his presence was a source of comfort and joy to all. His laughter was infectious, his advice was sought after, and his door was always open. Gabriel's impact on the lives he touched is immeasurable, and his memory will be held in the highest regard.
As we say farewell to Gabriel Gonzalez Alvares, we celebrate a life well-lived, full of love, kindness, and the courage to be authentically oneself. He will be profoundly missed by his family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Gabriel's spirit will continue to inspire and guide us, and his love will remain a light in the hearts of those he leaves behind. Rest in peace, Gabriel, until we meet again.
LA MUERTE NO ES NADA SAN AGUSTÍN
La muerte no es nada. Yo sólo me he ido a la habitación de al lado. Yo soy yo, tú eres tú. Lo que éramos el uno para el otro, lo seguimos siendo.
Llámame por el nombre que me has llamado siempre, háblame como siempre lo has hecho. No lo hagas con un tono diferente, de manera solemne o triste. Sigue riéndote de lo que nos hacia reir juntos. Que se pronuncie mi nombre en casa como siempre lo ha sido, sin énfasis ninguno, sin rastro de sombra.
La vida es lo que es lo que siempre ha sido. El hilo no está cortado. ¿Por qué estaria yo fuera de tu mente, simplemente porque estoy fuera de tu vista?
Te espero... No estoy lejos, justo del otro lado del camino... Ves, todo va bien. Volverás a encontrar mi corazón. Volverás a encontrar mi ternura acentuada. Enjuaga tus lágrimas y no llores si me amas.
