Steven Gonzales Obituary

Steve was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico on March 23, 1981 to Leo and Lillian Gonzales. He passed away on June 11, 2025. He was proceeded in death by his dad, Leo Gonzales and sister, Bernadette Rodriguez. He is survived by his mother, Lillian Gonzales; brothers, Danny (Lisa) Herrera, Clifford (Lisa) Gonzales, and Greg Gonzales; sister Jamie (Bobby) Gonzales; his children, Shania (Tristen), Autumn (Kevin), Estevan, and Aubrianna; numerous nieces, newphews, and great nieces and nephews.

Steve was a funny guy. He loved making people laugh. All the way to the very end he kept his sense of humor. He loved his family and playing music with his friends. He was in several bands in his younger days. His favorite holiday was Halloween, and he loved carving pumpkins with his family. He always looked forward to Friday the 13th so he could watch the whole Friday the 13th Franchise. Steve will be missed by many.

A Mass of Christian Burial for Steve will be held at Sacred Heart Church on Friday June 20, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. A reception to follow at the Sacred Heart Parish Hall.
