Thomas Gomez Obituary

Thomas Gomez of Lewis, CO was born 5/29/1958 to Joe and Barbara Gomez in North Hollywood, CA. He sadly passed away in Cortez, CO at the age of 65.

Uncle Tom was a kind-hearted jokester who loved the outdoors. There wasn't anyone he wouldn't lend a hand to and was always concerned about everyone else, never himself, even in his last days.

If Uncle Tom wasn't helping someone he was spending time outside arrowhead hunting, metal detecting, riding his four wheeler, bow hunting, shooting a gun, or his favorite, fishing, with his nephew, Angel.

He is survived by his parents, Joe and Barbara, siblings, Terry, Joe, Cindie and Mickie, children, Wendy, Amy, Danny and Robert, grandchildren, Bobby, Rowdy, Jersie, Tucker, Greyson, Kyra and Gabriel, great grandchildren, Paislee and Oaklynn, as well as many nieces and nephews who adored him. He was preceded in death by his brother, Steven Gomez.

We will all miss him very much and treasure the time we had.
