Gonzales – Mickey Gonzales, age 66, of Jacksonville, Florida went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on January 17, 2022, at Baptist Medical Center in Jacksonville, Florida. He was born in San Antonio, Texas on April 22, 1955, to the late Manuel Gonzales and Consuelo Vega Gonzales. Mickey was raised in Texas and relocated to Jacksonville, Florida where he spent the majority of his adult life. Mickey had a passion for cooking and was able to fulfill that passion in his career in restaurant management. For years he worked for various fast-food chains and would continue his love of cooking at home by trying new recipes. He enjoyed woodworking, collecting tools, watching Hallmark movies, listening to Selena’s music as she was his favorite musician, and most of all, Mickey enjoyed family gatherings. He found much joy in his family and always took advantage of the gift of time. Mickey loved family barbeques and pool parties with his children and grandchildren. He was truly an amazing father, grandfather, brother, and friend and will certainly be missed by all who knew him. His legacy will continue to live on because of the “Mickey Stories” shared throughout the years. Mickey was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Johnny Gonzales. Mickey is survived by his children, Dionysia “Nesia” (Scott) Campbell, Demetra (Joshua) Markum, Samantha (Adam) Devlin, and Malachi Rackley all of Jacksonville, FL; brother, Henry (Betty) Gonzales of Texas; sisters, Thelma Gonzales and Rosie (John) Gill both of Texas; grandchildren, Destiny DuPree, Lawsen Campbell, Ava Markum, Caden Devlin, and Ronan Devlin; former spouse and mother of Samantha Devlin, Carolyn Gonzales; along with many extended family members and friends.
