Gilbert A. "Chuy" Gonzales was born in San Antonio, Texas on October 18, 1943 to Guadalupe and Gilberto Rodriguez-Gonzales, Sr. passed away on May 29, 2014 at the age of 70. He served in both the United States Army, Navy, and was also a Vietnam Veteran. He had a passion for fishing, hunting, gambling, camping, dancing, country and western music. Gilbert loved to barbeque for this family and friends, but thrived on making them laugh. His favorite quote was "Are you with me or against me?" Gilbert retired after 20 years of service at SAWS. Although he was ill for quite a while, he never complained about pain, he was always in good spirit, and never gave up. He lived every day to the fullest and on his last day he went fishing and watched as the Spurs defeat the OKC Thunder. Gilbert was preceded in death by his three sisters, Ludy, Mercy and Oralia. He will be leaving behind his beloved wife of 30 years, Maria Gonzales; son, Stephen Gonzales; daughter, Jeannette Gonzales and her fiancé Daniel Gonzalez, two step daughters, Suzie and husband Patrick Martinez, and Julie Davila; step grandchildren, Anthony, Savannah, and Patrice and step great granddaughter, Taylor Rayne, and dear family friends, Ruthie Robles Gonzales, Gregory Arron, Vincent and Gloria Robles, Benjamin Robles, Pauline Robles, and Gloria and John Arceo. He will remain cherished in the memory of his nieces and nephews. The family will receive friends and relatives at the Schertz Funeral Home Chapel on Tuesday, June 3, 2014 from 4:00PM-8:00PM with United States Army Honors to be rendered at 6:00PM. All services will conclude in the chapel.
