Reynaldo "Rey" Gonzales

Reynaldo “Rey” Gonzales, a United States Army veteran and loving husband, father, grandfather, and brother, was born on March 24, 1951, in Brownwood, Texas, to Domingo Gonzales and Maria (Gonzalez) Gonzales. He passed from this life on March 11, 2026, at the age of 74, surrounded by the love of his family.

After faithfully serving his country in the United States Army, where he concluded his military career with distinguished service in the Color Guard, Rey dedicated 37 successful years to the United States Postal Service. Throughout his life, he was known for his deep love for God, his devotion to his family, and his kind spirit toward others. Rey had a gift for seeing the good in people and sharing that outlook with those around him.

In his free time, Rey enjoyed attending estate sales, hunting, and fishing—activities made even more meaningful when shared with his family. Above all else, he treasured his role as a father and grandfather, finding great joy in spending time with his grandchildren and creating memories they will carry with them always.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Domingo and Maria Gonzales, and by his first wife, Lydia June Gonzales.
