ESTEVAN DAMIAN GONZALES OCTOBER 12, 1988 - SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 Estevan Gonzales, age 31, of Santa Fe passed away unexpectedly at home on Sunday, September 20. Estevan will be remembered for his beautiful and contagious smile, his big bear hugs, and his kind and compassionate soul. He was preceded in death by Grandfathers Eddie Cayuse Gonzales and Gene Lucero. Estevan attended St. Michael's for three years and graduated from Santa Fe High School in 2007. He loved sports and enjoyed playing football and basketball. He was a die-hard Chicago Bulls fan and was rarely seen not wearing a pair of Jordan's. One of the highlights of his childhood was being able to see his hero Michael Jordan play with Scotty Pippin at the United Center. He was also a lifelong 49ers fan, and was overjoyed when they made it to the Super Bowl last year. He was a kind-hearted man always willing to help anyone in need. Estevan loved his girlfriend Katrina and could often be heard singing love songs to her. He absolutely adored the children in his life and always tried to make them feel special. He treasured spending time with his family and enjoyed reading, dancing, joking around, fishing, and working on cars. His beloved pup "Biggie Smalls" aka NOTORIOUS D.O.G. brought him incredible joy during his last month and a half of life. Estevan was a devoted son who was the light of his mother's life.
