By 1981, they began to grow their family. Efrain had a passion all his life for low riders & its culture.

Ten years later, in 1993, Efrain & Janina were expecting their last child together of 5. It was that same year he was given the opportunity to launch out to Kansas City to pastor a church. Instead of moving his wife & children, Efrain made it his mission to eventually move his entire family to the Midwest. Throughout his years here in Kansas City, Efrain’s family grew even bigger. From preaching the word of God, to playing handball, hosting car shows, amongst other bonds & relationships. Efrain Gonzalez passed away Wednesday, August 28th, 2024.
