1962 - 2025
Joseph L. Gonzales, age 63, a lifelong resident of Belen, NM, passed away on Friday, July 18, 2025. Interment will take place at a later date at Our Lady of Belen Memorial Garden. He is survived by 6 brothers, 3 sisters, their husbands, wives, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, all of whom loved him dearly. Although Joseph was total care all his life, he lived in love. His mother kept him at home and cared for him until her passing. Joseph's sister took him in and cared for him with the help of their brother and on occasion, other family members. He was under the exceptional care of Dr. Scott Jeansonne, as well as the wonderful care of Wilferd and his team at Share'n'Care. Joseph enjoyed going on vacation with his sister. He loved to laugh and sing Happy Birthday to everyone, he enjoyed country music and loved balloons. Joseph will be missed by many that knew him. Please sign Joseph's online tribute at www.romerofuneralhomenm.com Romero Funeral Home, 609 N. Main St., Belen, NM.
