Officer Juan Gomez is deeply, sorrowfully missed. I knew him through church & can personally say-he was the real thing. A godly man who loved Jesus, his family, his friends, & community. He was a humble man who never bragged or promoted himself but was always looking to help others. Juan always had a huge smile-living evidence of the joy within. Left behind is his lovely wife, his sweet daughter & gentle son. As well as his extended family of origin; his parents & siblings miss him terribly. Juan, my dear brother-in-Christ, I look forward to celebrating with you on the other side one day & sitting at the feet of Jesus!
