Carlos José Gonzales, age 38, of Joplin, passed away in his home on Wednesday, October 4th, of natural causes.
Carlos was born in Springfield, MO, to Oscar and Donna Gonzales on March 19, 1979. He was a 1998 graduate of Joplin High School and attended MSSU.
Carlos was an avid outdoorsman and felt most alive and at home in his favorite places, Zan's and Rockbridge. He loved being with family and friends. Enjoyed movies, flea markets and buying outdoor gear. His passion was cooking always trying new things to hone his craft. He was in the process of moving to the Kansas City area in November to pursue the culinary arts. His family and friends will always remember him as an often wildly inappropriate yet funny, energetic outgoing person.
Carlos was preceded in death by his wife Natasha and his father Oscar. He is survived by his children Gabriella, Aryanna and Antonio, his stepchildren Ebony, Michael, TaShawn and Mitchell Williams, his brother Oscar II, his mother Donna and best friends Doug Carver and Jamie Curry.
A memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, October 28th at 2 p.m. at Joplin Family Worship Center where Carlos served during disaster relief. The family would like to thank the JFWC Community for their generous gift of love and support.
Come celebrate Carlos' life with us and share your photos, stories and memories.
