RONALDO ABEL GOMEZ

McALLEN – Ronaldo Abel Gomez, 70, passed peacefully in his home on Saturday, January 9, 2021, with his loved ones by his side. Ron was born on July 1, 1950, to Abelino and Julia Gomez of Pharr. The eldest son of five children, Ron learned the attributes of dedication to family, hard work, and sacrifice from his mother and father early in life as they worked as migrant farmworkers throughout his youth. He would further hone those attributes as he successfully completed an honorable tour with the United States Army where he earned the rank of Specialist prior to his discharge. The skills, discipline, and drive he would obtain eventually led him to join the City of McAllen Fire Department where he dedicated over 25 years of service to promote public safety, community involvement, and mentorship of fellow firefighters. His strong work ethic and family values would see him work two and sometimes three jobs to provide every possible advantage for his family.
