Ylija Campos Gomez earned her angel wings and went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at the age of 12. She passed peacefully in her home surrounded by her loving family and friends. Born on March 16, 2000 in New Braunfels, Ylija was the daughter of Sarah and Rico Gomez. She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Domingo Campos, Sr. She was a student at Canyon Middle School and loved hip hop music, dancing and swimming. As she became ill, Ylija requested three wishes to come true. The first wish was to drive a vehicle which was granted without the consent and knowledge of her parents. The second wish granted was to meet her favorite Tejano star and her last wish to come true was to carry her daddy's name. Ylija is survived by her siblings, Xavier, Rico and Anastacia Gomez, Dillon Campos and Johnathan and Alexis Ramirez. Visitation will be held from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM with a prayer service scheduled for 7:00 PM on Sunday, March 3, 2013 at the Church of Christ, 1665 Business 35 S. in New Braunfels. Funeral services are scheduled for 3:30 PM on Monday, March 4, 2013 at the Church of Christ. Interment will follow at Santo Tomas Cemetery in Seguin. A reception will immediately follow the burial at the Comal County Fairgrounds.
