In loving memory of Virgilio Gonzales

A devoted family man, gentle spirit, and cherished community member

With a heavy heart, I share this message. It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Virgilio Gonzales (November 20, 1948 – November 14, 2025), age 76, who passed away in a hospital in Los Angeles County. The coroner’s office identified him, noting the manner of death as accidental, with the cause listed as sequelae of blunt-force trauma. Formal pronouncement of death was made on Friday.

Virgilio’s passing is a profound loss to his family, friends, and all who were touched by his kindness. He was a gentle, dignified man whose life reflected love, perseverance, and quiet strength. To those who knew him best, he was a pillar of devotion—steadfast in his care for family, generous with his time, and unwavering in his respect for others. His legacy is one of humility, integrity, and the small, everyday acts of goodness that leave lasting imprints on the heart.

He may have been of Filipino descent, and many who shared his heritage will remember the warmth he brought to gatherings and the pride he carried for his roots. Whether in moments of celebration or challenge, Virgilio embodied community—showing up, lending a hand, and reminding those around him of the importance of faith, family, and compassion.

Though the circumstances of his death were tragic, his life was defined by far more: the laughter around a shared meal, the advice offered with patience, the quiet encouragement that helped others carry on. These memories will continue to sustain his loved ones in the days ahead.

We extend our deepest condolences to Virgilio’s family, relatives, and friends. May you find strength in cherished memories, comfort in each other’s presence, and peace in knowing that his spirit lives on in the love he gave and the lives he shaped. Your support, sympathies, and heartfelt condolences are deeply appreciated during this trying time.

Rest in peace, Virgilio Gonzales. Your life was a blessing, your example enduring, and your memory everlasting.
