Keith "Json" Gomes

WATERBURY - It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Keith Jason “Json” Gomes, artistically known as JGomes, who was born on February 13, 1986, and transitioned from this life on December 24, 2025. Keith answered the call to eternal rest, and while our hearts grieve, we trust that he is now at peace in the presence of the Lord.

Json was a gifted and expressive artist whose creativity flowed from a deep and sensitive spirit. Through his work as JGomes, he used art as a powerful form of expression—communicating emotion, truth, and depth in ways that words often could not. His creativity was a reflection of his soul, and his artistic legacy will live on through those touched by his work. Through his music and videos, Json leaves a living testament to his creativity and the life he shared with the world.

Json was deeply loved and will be remembered for his unique personality, his creativity, and the love he had for his family. Json was well known for his charm, his big heart, and his ability to form meaningful connections, leaving behind many who loved him deeply.
