Samuel Gonzales passed away on October 26, 2026, in San Antonio at the age of 57. He was born on August 24, 1969, in Dilley, Texas.

Samuel will be remembered as a get-up-and-go kind of man who enjoyed spending time with friends and family.

Above all, he loved his grandchildren, who brought him great joy.

He is survived by his children, Mark Gonzales (Sam Martinez) and Monique Chacon (Roberto Pizana) by his grandchildren, Madison Gonzales, Ronin Gonzales, and Camila Craig; by his father, David Gonzales Jr.; and by his siblings, Yolanda Gonzales and Ines, Leticia Flores and Lauro, Lydia Castillo, and Saul Gonzales.
