Michael Gonzalez Obituary
Michael was born in Waukesha on July 7, 1961. He had a fulfilling career with QuadGraphics, followed by a passion for entrepreneurship, owning T.R. Gonzo's, Chili Peppers, Casa Del Rio and his most recent venture, The Funky Monkey. His employer, The Scan Group, encouraged his endeavors and everyone was looking forward to this new chapter. Michael had a spirit for life, and was full of love and laughter that he shared with all who knew him.
Michael is survived by his two sons, Justin and Austin; parents, Nancy and Severo; his brothers, Robert, Jimmy, Ricky and Billy; as well as many family and friends. Michael is preceded in death by his sister, Bobbie Jo Reed and his grandparents.
Visitation will take place on Saturday, October 15, 2022 from 2:00pm until the brief funeral service at 5:00pm at Randle-Dable-Brisk Funeral Home, 1110 S. Grand Ave., Waukesha. A continued celebration of Michael's life will follow and be announced at the service.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Michael's name are appreciated to the American Heart Association.
The family would like to thank Randle-Dable-Brisk for making this difficult time as manageable as possible.

I worked with Michael at The Scan Group from day one, we were so fortunate to have him as part of our team. He paid attention to two things, our clients and his co-workers and he routinely went out of his way for both. If he could do anything for either one, he did.
He became a good friend as well as a co-worker and I am proud to say I knew him.
Rest in peace my friend to say you will be missed is an incredible understatement.
Grace be to God.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mike at the Scan Group. He was always joy full and full of hope. Although I only knew him briefly I will miss his incredible attitude and smile.

Words can not express our deepest condolences to the entire family. Michael always had us laughing as we engaged in High School memories. The look on his face when he walked in for the soft opening of the Funky Monkey was priceless as to the amount of people supporting him. You will be missed Michael! May God comfort all of you during this difficult time.
