Severo L. Gomez Jr.
October 27, 1940 ~ June 16, 2018
Severo L. Gomez Jr. (Weno), age 77, passed away Saturday, June 16, 2018 in San Antonio at Brooke Army Medical Center. Severo was born on October 27, 1940 in Comal County to the late Severo Gomez Sr. and Josephina Lopez Gomez.
Severo Gomez Jr. served with the United States Army from 1963-1969. After returning home he began his career working for Mission Valley Mills for 28 years. After the Mill closed down he went to work at various different part time jobs, one being with Union Pacific. He enjoyed visiting many of his close friends over coffee and at times would occasionally get away for fishing trips. He enjoyed hitting golf balls and love watching the grandkids run after them. Another one of his past times was spending time out in the yard. He will be greatly missed and will never be forgotten.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and three sisters Marcelina Garcia, Genevieve Torres, and Petra Hernandez.
Survivors include his loving wife of 55 years, Modesta Medina Gomez; daughters, Vivian Kumm (Bradley), Natalia Ortiz (Mario), Yolanda Gomez (David), Yvonne Sanchez (Joey), and Sandy Reece (Todd); 11 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. In addition, Severo is also survived by sisters, Clara Meza, Maria Saenz, and Alicia Gomez; and brothers, Melchor Gomez, Rodolfo Gomez, and Jose Gomez.
Visitation will be held from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM with a Holy Rosary at 7:00 PM on Sunday, July 1, 2018 at the Lux Funeral Home Chapel. The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 AM on Monday, July 2, 2018 at Holy Family Catholic Church. Interment will immediately follow at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery.
My condolences to the Gomez families. I’m sorry to hear about the loss of dear Severo. Some Bible scriptures that have helped me during times of loss include Isaiah 26:19 and Psalm 37:28,29 which states in part: “Your dead ones will live…They will rise up”. And the Bible also says “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will forever reside upon it”. Therefore the Bible promises that we may be reunited with our loved ones lost in death by means of an earthly resurrection. This is further confirmed by John 5:28,29 which says “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out”. This is possible thanks to Jesus Christ’s ransom sacrifice. Thus we have a genuine hope of everlasting life in a world without wickedness or suffering. I hope that these scriptures will be of some comfort to you”.
Our Condolences & Prayers to Yolie and her family.
