I’m really missing you rn dad
Steve and I became good friends when we both attended LCC, I was always amazed with his calm demeanor and his sense of humor and his ability to bring calm when it was needed. I was shocked to read about his passing, please accept my sincere condolences to the entire Gonzalez family, I pray that you find comfort in this most difficult time. May Steve rest in peace.
My most sincere condolences to you , to your son &daughter & grandson. I was there in spirit, with my all my heart. Love all of you and will keep you in my prayers.
Sandra and Family, I wish I could have made it out tonight to celebrate Esteban’s life. Thank goodness for virtual as I got to join you all online. He was the best God Father to me and will surely be missed. To all those times I drove him crazy as a little kid yet he never said no to babysitting us or taking us out for breakfast. Sending you, Andy, and Joanna a big whole hug! Love you all!!

NUESTRO MÁS SENTIDO PÉSAME PARA LA FAMILIA GONZÁLEZ Y QUE DIOS BENDIGA SU ETERNO DESCANSO DE ESTEBAN STEVE GONZÁLEZ
Dad was a man of many names to many people. He was always working relentlessly for his family and joked about becoming a millionaire when he retired with his investments lol… we all know he was full of integrity and by the book- trying to keep his professional side as private as possible. Ironically, you can catch him on a few episodes of that “Border Wars” show, airing pretty much everywhere… if you were lucky enough to see it, he was also the subject of a viral meme a few years ago (he didn’t know it, though). Anyway, dad was a stand up guy. He joked with and cared about many people, it’s easy to see how many people are coming through to show love after his passing. We all love you, dad. Thank you everyone for all your help and support.
We never met you but knew of you by your brother Jaime. Our sincere condolences to his wife, children and grandchildren. Your brother Jaime will miss you dearly. May you Rest In Peace.
My condolences to the family of Esteban “Chato” Gonzalez and the Laredo OFO AQI Department that lost a brother and frontline warrior. You will be missed Chato. May you Rest In Peace.

A Ture American Patriot, words can't describe how much you will be missed at work. You loved serving our Beautiful Country with dignity and respect. Famous quote from Esteban " I Bleed Red, White and Blue". Thank you for all the laughs and great times we enjoyed together. We did not get to say goodbye, but I know you got your six from up above. May you Rest In Peace and we will take it from here Chato.
Chato, It's starting to hit us that you're gone. You may not have known it, but you left a big impact on all of us. Working alongside you was an honor. Your work ethic, your jokes, your laugh, your funny sayings - you made the shift fun. Work won't be the same without you. My deepest condolences to your family. I hope Esteban's family finds strength through this very difficult time. Know that everyone who worked with him loved him dearly and that we celebrate his life by never forgetting all the good moments we have in our hearts about our dear friend. Chato, we will honor your memory always.

Chato, the weight of your loss will be felt by the many you have touched and those who had the privilege to call you friend. You were always a welcomed sight at work. The knowledge, humor, and wisdom you have bestowed onto us will continue to be passed on. RIP dear brother, you were loved, cherished, and will greatly be missed by all your peers.
MI MAS SENTIDO PESAME PARA LA FAMILIA GONZALEZ. MI AMIGO ESTEBAN EN ESTE MOMENTO ESTA A LA DIESTRA DE NUESTRO SENOR. ORACIONES PARA TODA LA FAMILIA
I’m very sorry for your loss
Tiempo Tuve el dinero pero no pude comprarte el mañana Con mi inteligencia no pude contestarte él, porque. Caminando por la vida encuentro tus ultimos pasos. En mi soledad escucho tu voz y tu sonrisa. El vacío de mi alma se llena de obscuridad sabiendo que jamas estaras aquí. Los minutos son una enternidad y el mañana nunca amanece. Entregaría todas mis posesiones para volver a tenerte junto a mi. Los años que estuviste con nosotros hoy se hacen pocos. Los días pasan pero el dolor sigue igual. Tus recuerdos son muchos y siempre me encuentran en mi hora de necesidad y por cosas que no se cumplieron y palabras que no se dijeron y por eso te pido perdón. Con tu poco tiempo de vida nos enseñastes como vivir, y como morir., Pero por hoy hasta ese dia, el dolor sera igual. Los últimos adioses no se dijeron Tal vez algún día tendremos la respuesta de tu ausencia, tal vez sabiendo que nos volveremos a ver. Sabías que estabamos contigo cuando te llamaron y solo tú contestaste la llamada. Mis palabras caen sobre una tumba llena de tu vida. Mi tristeza me sigue abrasando La obscuridad es mi guía. Mi última esperanza estaba en la cruz. Con la ayuda de Dios, algun día estaremos juntos. Marco A. Hernández
Rest In Peace my friend. You will be missed. God Bless you!!
May God Bless you my brother, we will miss you, please look over us and take care of us. Love you my friend.
I wish family and friends courage and healing during this tough time. Cry when you feel like it. Let the laughter roll when it comes. And know that Esteban will forever live on in the journeys you shared together.
