Jerardo deeply cherished his family, including his parents, siblings, nephews, and nieces. He found joy in spending time with loved ones, fishing, watching sports -- particularly cheering for the Dallas Cowboys -- and savoring his mother's cooking. Known for his generosity, Jerardo had a heart of gold, always ready to help others and bring peace to his family.

As a big brother, Jerardo was cherished for being the best one could ask for, creating countless cherished memories with his siblings and cousins. His nephews and nieces were the light of his life, and he cared for them as his own, creating loving bonds they will forever treasure.

Jerardo left a lasting impact on everyone he met with his infectious smile and kind spirit. His legacy of love and humor will be dearly missed by all.

Survived by his mother Sylvia Espino, sister Eddika Gonzales Blaylock, brother Celestino Gonzales, brother Oscar Gonzales, and their respective families, Jerardo is predeceased by his father, Jerardo Sr. Gonzales.

A memorial service to honor the life of Jerardo "Bobcat" Gonzales will be held at a later date. To offer a flower arrangement or plant trees in memory of Jerardo (Jerry) Rodriguez Gonzales Jr., please visit the Sympathy Store.
