Manuel Gonzales
Jr.
September 15, 1958 – September 26, 2024
Manuel Gonzales Jr. 66, of Haxtun, Colorado passed away Thursday, September 26, 2024. A Vigil Service and Recitation of the Holy Rosary will be held at 9:00 a.m., Thursday, October 3, 2024, at Halouska Family Chaney-Reager Funeral Home with Deacon Bernie Schwartze officiating. A graveside service will be held at 2:00 p.m., at Evans Cemetery in Evans Colorado. Those who wish to honor Manuel's memory are welcome to attend and pay their respects.
Manuel was born September 15, 1958, to Manuel Sr. and Lucy (Casarez) Gonzales. Manuel began working at the age of 16 and hardly ever stopped. His dedication was not only evident in his long-standing career as the best roofer in Northeastern Colorado, but also in the meticulous care he devoted to his yard and vehicles. Manuel's life was marked by a constant commitment to his craft, making significant contributions to the roofing industry in his local community. His absence will be profoundly felt by all who knew him, especially given his reputation for dependability and skill.
Manuel met Rosa Ann Cortez and spent a life of love together. After many years together, they decided to marry on May 18, 2018, in Wray, Colorado. Manuel was an avid Broncos, Nuggets and Avalanche fan and enjoyed working on old cars.
He is preceded in death by his parents Manuel and Lucy.
Manuel is survived by his wife Rosie, children Manuel Gonzales III, Jason Gonzales, Crystal Gonzales, Andrew Gonzales, Matthew Gonzales, and Christopher Gonzales; 13 grandchildren, granddaughter Genisus Gonzales; brother Boby Gonzales, and sisters Anna, Victoria, Vilma, Anahi and Cynthia.
