Hector Gonzalez was my best friend, and his loss has deeply affected not only those who knew him, but an entire community. Hector was unique—a one of a kind soul who didn’t have to know you to approach you with kindness. He had a heart of gold and always did his best to make sure nobody felt excluded. He was never embarrassed to be himself, always playful, hardworking, and so full of love and empathy. Hector was welcoming, patient, and gentle, and his presence made everyone feel at home.

This tragedy has left his family with a huge piece missing from their hearts. Hector was a son, a brother, an uncle, and a friend. The loss is felt deeply by all who loved him, and the community mourns alongside his family.
