Plan Ahead

Gonzales, Jr., Luciano "Louie"

November 14, 1968 –
 March 28, 2014

Obituary

“Louie” Gonzales passed on March 28, 2014 from liver complications. He was born in Dallas, TX on November 14, 1968 to parents “Lou” and Irma Gonzales. He was a loving, devoted husband to Patricia Gonzales for 30 years bearing two beautiful children Jovan and Joseph Gonzales. Louie is survived by his wife, Patricia “Patti” Gonzales; both children; both parents; one grandparent, Rosa Gonzales; and 4 siblings, Bobby, Rudy, Ben, and Soly Gonzales. Louie was known for his vivacious, spirited, happy-go-lucky nature. Always the one to clown, there was never a dull moment in his presence as he made sure to be the life of the party. Louie was always one to help people less fortunate in any way, and he always made sure to care for those in pain in any way he could. Louie shared a love of cars with both sons and his father, having worked with cars of all types for many years. If someone were looking for him, the first place to check was the garage. Louie loved to cook for the family and was “famous” for his menudo; he even pursued education as a chef. His love of life extended to pursuing an acting career, something most people cannot say they have done. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made to Hospice of East Texas. Donations may be made at http://www.hospiceofeasttexas.org/ Memorial services will be held at Aria Memorial Chapel from 6:00-8:00 P.M. on Monday, March 31, 2014. Arrangements are under the direction of ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road Dallas, Texas 75252 214-306-6700

    Louie has been a brother and a friend and his presence is missed in the lives of myself, my children and my husband Juan. I am comforted by his faith and belief in God and I support the memory of this man who loved fully and loved greatly by all! God bless the families who are left behind suffering the wonderful presence of a man fearfully and wonderfully created! I love you Louie and I will always love you, I am certain that you have gone to a better place. God bless Luciano Gonzales Jr.!!! Amen

    I did not get to say “good-bye, or even farewell”. Louie was my brother and friend and held a very special part in my heart and in the hearts of many! It saddens me that he has gone on and I will be without his presence in my life. I have decided to change my perspective because of this because none of us know when we will pass on. So, from now on it’s “see you later, or til next time and until I see you again”. I say this after reading Phil. 1:21 that I shared with my sister Patricia who I amgrateful for allowing me to speak to him over the phone and tell him I love him, it says “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain”. Louie has accomplished both! See ya bro, as he would always say “Aye te watcho, Nacho!”………..

    My brother passed, and he will be missed. To find the words right now is a little hard. Louie always called me when he hadn’t heard from us in a couple days. He always knew when something wasn’t right with me just by the sound of my voice. I always wanted to be like him when I was little . Even today he still could influence me, wether it was a phrase, or a certain style or look. He is just that type of guy. It is my honor to be your brother. Those are the last words I spoke to him. Tu “Carnalito” will miss you dearly, but not to worry, we will hold it down for you carnal.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
