Rene C. Gomez
June 12, 1965 ~ January 23, 2018
Rene C. Gomez, age 52 of New Braunfels passed away Tuesday, January 23, 2018. Born on June 12, 1965 in Seguin, Texas, he was the son of the late Frank Gomez, Sr. and Espi Cuellar Gomez.
Rene worked for many years as a cook at Dairy Queen. He was a loving husband and a hard-working family man, very dedicated to his wife and children. He was always at the ready to help out whenever he received a call from any of their children or grandchildren. He enjoyed barbecuing, playing Lotto scratch-offs, watching ‘80’s comedy sit-coms, as well as an occasional Sponge Bob with his great granddaughter and sidekick, Autumn. He mostly loved watching TV sports, and was an avid Spurs, Texans, and Astros fan, able to recall team history and player stats like no one else. Watching TV sports with him was never a quiet nor passive activity. It was always filled with loud exclamations of joy and/or disgruntled expressions of disappointment. His joy and enthusiasm will be missed by his sports loving sons.
He is survived by his loving mother, Espi Cuellar Gomez; beloved wife, Lidia; siblings, Frank M. Gomez III, Anthony Gomez, Mario Gomez, Michael Gomez and Francesca Gomez; children, Nathan Reyes, Joshua Reyes and his wife Amanda, Rene Gomez, Jr. and his wife, Brenda, Nolan Ryan Gomez and fiancé Jessica, Jennifer Lopez, and Eduardo Lopez, Jr.; grandchildren Rene III, Natalie Renee, Darian, Gabriel, Victoria, Brendon, Keagan, Elsa, Reina, David and Eduardo III; four great-grandchildren, Autumn, Roman, Mason and Jaycub.

My condolences to the Gomez families. I’m sorry to hear about the untimely loss of dear Rene. 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 world without wickedness or suffering. I hope that these scriptures will be of some comfort to you.
Miss you grandpa, forever.
Miss you dad… Love, Jennifer
