Joe was born on Oct. 10, 1980, in Spokane, to Louis and Zenaida Gonzalez.

The family lived in Warden, where Joe attended the Warden schools, and graduated from WHS in 1999. During his years at the school, he wrestled for the Cougars and made many lifelong friends, many of which are still important in his life today. Joe had the kind of personality that you just had to like. His smile was sincere, and his laugh contagious. A true friend, brother, uncle and son he was.

Joe enjoyed the computer a lot. He kept in touch with his many friends and family which he adored.

Joe is survived by his parents, Louis and Zenaida Gonzalez at home in Warden. His daughter Paige, Spokane, the love and light of his life. Two sisters Bella (Donnie) of Warden, Rosie Gonzalez of Moses Lake and one brother Carlos also of Moses Lake.

Other survivors include a nephew, Daniel Gonzalez, of Moses Lake and four nieces, Taylor and Savanna Edson, of Warden and Sabrina and Madyson Rhyne of Moses Lake. His grandfather, Jose Gonzalez of Guadalajara, Mexico. Numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

Joe never made a trip "home" without taking the time to spend with his nieces and nephew, and his family, all which meant so much to him.

Joe, your sweet smile, and kind heart will be missed so much.
