Paul Edward Gonzales

Paul Gonzales, you were born on a cold winter’s day on 23 November 1967, on Thanksgiving Day when we lived in Upper Heyford Air Base in England. You were such a tiny baby, that we dressed you in baby doll clothes. As a child, you loved to play with your toy fire engines and ambulances and we should have known that you would grow up to be a paramedic. A job that you loved for many years. You were a kind man, a clown, a cat lover, someone who loved the Lord, your wife Michelle and your children Alyssa and Christopher, your grand baby, your family and friends. You traveled all over the world from England, Colorado, Texas, China, Israel and many places in between. You loved music from Stryper, Petra, Sweet Comfort Band, 80’s pop. You loved to sing and dance. I will never forget you singing worship music at the Western Wall, sounding like a Jewish Cantor with your beautiful voice! People who know you would say, your taste in clothing was outrageous and flashy. Those Red, white and blue spandex pants and your American flag shirt was the talk of town. Your 2016 “Donald Trump Inauguration” t-shirt was such a sensation in Israel, people stopped us in the streets to take pictures with you! You loved the following: Donald Trump, Conspiracy theories, Vietnamese currency, Rodney Howard Browne, Todd White, Qanon, cooking and eating good food, your cats and so much more! You were a kooky, funny, interesting, eccentric individual. There will never be another one like you! I will miss you, but I am grateful that I had you in my life for almost 53 years. I’m thankful for the quality time we spent in Israel and all the laughs and adventures we shared together. You lived every day to the fullest. To know you, was to love you. You will always be in our hearts. Rest in Peace! Goodnight sweet Prince! Paul Edward Gonzales (November 23, 1967- November 21,2020)
