Hector Gonzalez

November 9, 1942 — May 10, 2025

Loving husband to Maria Luisa Gonzalez for 62 years.

Caring and attentive father to Elizabeth (the late John) Trejo, Hector (Melissa) Gonzalez, Noemi (Frederico) Cintora, Marcela (Paul) Gonzalez, and Marybel (Wallace) Lynch. Grandfather to Jennifer, Frank, Natalie (Brendan), Cynthia, Julian, Maria, Jaclyn, Eva, Anthony, Christyan , Fred and Vince. Great- grandfather to Isaiah and Lili.

Hector provided for his family working construction for most of his adult life.

He enjoyed sharing conversations and meals with those around him, especially both his biological and church family.

Hector enjoyed the simple things in life, laughing, joking, playing family games, fishing, watching both movies and baseball, but mostly spending time with his family and being silly. He always had a hug ready for whoever needed one and kisses for his kids and grandkids.

A founding member of Iglesia de Cristo in Elgin, Hector was a pillar in his church family and a faithful member of the Church of Christ, living by example.

He has left a big void amongst those who loved him, he will be greatly missed.

Amado esposo de Maria Luisa Gonzalez por 62 años.

Cariñoso y atento padre de Elizabeth (el difunto John) Trejo, Hector (Melissa) Gonzalez, Noemi (Frederico) Cintora, Marcela (Paul) Gonzalez, y Marybel (Wallace) Lynch. Abuelo de Jennifer, Frank, Natalie (Brendan), Cynthia, Julian, Maria, Jaclyn, Eva, Anthony, Christyan, Fred y Vince. Bisabuelo de Isaiah y Lili.

Hector mantuvo a su familia trabajando en la construcción durante la mayor parte de su vida adulta.

Disfrutaba de compartir conversaciones y comidas con quienes lo rodeaban, especialmente con su familia biológica y la de la iglesia.


Hector disfrutaba de las cosas sencillas de la vida: reír, bromear, jugar en familia, pescar, ver películas y jugar al béisbol, pero sobre todo pasar tiempo con su familia. Siempre tenía un abrazo listo para quien lo necesitara y besos para sus hijos y nietos.

Miembro fundador de la Iglesia de Cristo en Elgin, Hector fue un pilar en su familia y un fiel miembro de la Iglesia de Cristo, dando ejemplo.

Ha dejado un gran vacío entre quienes lo amaban, lo extrañaremos mucho.
