Gaudencio Balmaceda 75, residente desde hace mucho tiempo del vecindario Southside Lawn de Chicago, falleció el 12 de octubre de 2025. Amado esposo de Teresa Balmaceda; padre amoroso de Francisco, Gregorio, Narciso, Alma, Gaudencio, Baltazar, José-B, y Francisco Javier; querido abuelo de Rubiselia, Jocelyn, Walter, Francisco Jr., Díaz, Gisela, Diana, Cristian, Miranda, Maite, Lucas, David, Alejandro, Julián, Tabitha, Florencia, Leo, Ginsburg, Atenea y Emery "Griselda"; querido hermano de Romana, Marcelina, Inocencia, Victoria, Alejandra, Eva, Leonides, Delfino, Alfonso, Fausto y José.
Gaudencio era un ávido jugador de Domino's. Le gustaba pasar tiempo en su garaje, limpiar y escuchar su reproductor de casetes con sus propias cintas de mezclas y andar en bicicleta por el vecindario. Se enorgullecía de hornear pan y apreciaba el tiempo que pasaba con su familia.
La familia recibirá a sus amigos en Central Chapel, 6158 S. Central Ave. Chicago, IL, 60638 el jueves 16 de octubre de 2025 de 3 a 8 p.m. con un servicio de oración a las 6 p.m. La cremación sigue de acuerdo con sus deseos.
