Andres V. Gonzalez, 75, known as “Andy,” passed away peacefully April 15, 2023, surrounded by family.
Andres was born in Cienega De Flores, Nuevo Leon, Mexico on Jan. 21, 1948, to Maria Villarreal and Luis Gonzalez. As a teenager he moved to Crystal City, Texas and then to Moses Lake, Washington, where he met and married Anna Alvarado and had four children: Roman Gonzalez; Nereida Gonzalez; Leticia Gomez, married to Santiago Gomez; and Isabel Orbe, married to Mauricio Orbe. He had 10 grandchildren: Brittney, Luis, Valeria, Jaime, Ulyses, Tomie, Marvin, Milton Leena and Danilo who blessed him with seven great-grandchildren.
Andy had such a sense of humor. Those who knew him loved his jokes and smart remarks. At times he could be so strict and with that taught many of us life lessons. He was a loving father, grandfather, uncle, brother and friend who without a doubt will be missed.
Andres was a hardworking man who worked in construction for 35 years until he retired from the Laborers Union. He loved barbecue, fishing dancing, listening to music and chilling with family and friends, while having a nice cold Bud Light. He will never be forgotten by his family and friends. Always and forever.
Funeral arrangements are with Kayser’s Chapel of Memories on Thursday, April 20, 2023, from 2 to 4 p.m. and Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church on Monday, April 24, 2023, at 10 a.m. There will be a burial at Guarding Angels Cemetery following the church Mass.
