Obituary for Jeffery Michael Gonzales
Obituary for Jeffery Michael Gonzales 1994-2022
Jeffery Michael Gonzales passed away Tuesday, August 30th at Huntsman Cancer Institute from a rare bone cancer called Ewing’s Sarcoma. At the time of his passing, he was surrounded by his mother, brother, uncle, and aunt.
Jeffery was born on May 4th 1994, in Jerome Idaho to Julie and Jesse Gonzales. He graduated from Canyon Ridge High School in 2012. He enlisted into the United States Air Force in 2016 and was stationed at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota. He deployed twice for 6 months each time. First to AL Dhafra in the United Arab Emirates and then to Kuwait, both are in the Middle East. He was Honorably Retired as Staff Sargent Jeffery M Gonzales due to his service-related injury of the Ewing Sarcoma.
Jeffery was an amazing young man, but most of all, an amazing son and brother. He always thought of others and their feelings above his own. He did it without even thinking. It was who he was inside and out. He faced every challenge placed before him head on and with a positive attitude without hesitation, no matter what it was. He enjoyed gaming online with his friends and used to say it was the next best thing next to being there in person. He enjoyed camping with his friends whenever he was able to. He cherished the times he spent with his brother, sister-in-law, and nephews. He was the best at movie quotes and one liners with his brother and sister laughing for hours about it.
Jeffery, without even realizing it, has had an impact on everyone he has been in contact with in his short 28 years on this earth, including the staff at Huntsman Cancer Institute. The fourth floor nursing staff was especially affected by Jeffery. They would fight over who was assigned to him, wanting to be the one to take care of him for their shift, day, or night.
Jeffery is survived by his mom Julie Dewitt; dad Jesse Gonzales; brother Jesse “Buddy” (Amber) Gonzales, nephews Brevyn, Lexyn, Boston and Nixon; sister Janeece Gonzales and her son Ayden Chapa; Uncle Michael (Rachel) Bosma and their sons Logan, Brant, Connor, and Sebastian; Uncle Greg and his children Jacob, Scott, Ashley, Sarah and Kaitlyn; Grandmother Vonnie Glover; Grandfather Jesse Gonzales; Grandmother Mary Lou and many other uncles, aunts and cousins.
A viewing is being held at White-Reynolds Funeral Chapel, 2466 Addison Ave E Twin Falls Idaho 83301, on September 9th 2022 from 6pm-8pm. Funeral services will be held at Lighthouse Christian Fellowship, 960 Eastland Drive Twin Falls Idaho 83301, on Saturday September 10th 2022 at 10am followed by the burial at Sunset Memorial Park 2296 Kimberly Rd Twin Falls Idaho 83301.
