Edmundo Gonzalez passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, on March 7, 2026. 

Born on June 15, 1934, Edmundo lived a life dedicated to his family. As a teenager, he helped to support his family working two jobs during his school years. 

After high school, Edmundo enlisted in the United States Air Force and served for four years during the Korean War. He was assigned to the Strategic Air Command (SAC) Unit, where he worked on radar systems, supporting the Air Fleet during the war.

 Edmundo was honorably discharged in 1957. In December of that same year, he met the love of his life, Lucia Padilla. They married in 1959 and had three sons: Edmundo, Luis, and Ricardo. Edmundo was also a very proud grandfather (known as Abudito) to Edmundo and daughter-in-law Louanne's four children: Antonio, Isabella, Elise, and Mia. 

Edmundo is survived by his loving wife of 66 years, Lucia, his sons Edmundo, Luis, and Ricardo, Louanne, and his grandchildren.

 A Rosary service will be held at Risher Mortuary in Montebello at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 25th. Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, March 26th, at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in East Los Angeles, followed by graveside services at Calvary Cemetery. 

The Gonzalez Family wishes to express their sincere gratitude for the prayers, care, compassion, and support shown by all during this difficult time.
