Obituary for Pedro Gonzalez
Our beloved father Mr. Pedro González, age 76, of Snyder, Texas went home to join the Lord on Monday January 11, 2021, surrounded by the presence of his loving family.

and Anastasia Flores Estrada. As a young man in Mexico, Pedro was a mechanic for Chevrolet. Moving into his adulthood he met the love of his life and married Miss Maria Guerrero on April 29, 1972 in Colima, Colima. Shortly after Pedro and Maria moved to Snyder, Texas to start a new life, working various positions in oilfield mainly on a workover rig for 30+ years since the age of 28. Pedro leaves a legacy of hard work and grit. He also leaves an incredible legacy of faith in God and a life-long love and commitment to his precious bride of 48 years, Maria.
Pedro was a lifelong active member of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. Faithful servant of God, husband, father, grandfather, and loving friend to all. A devout Roman Catholic, he was a 4th degree Knight serving the Knights of Columbus for many years where he provided leadership in social concerns and performed numerous works of charity. Pedro was a Cursillista who loved to give, “Rollos”, talks that help people get closer to God and their faith. At Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church, he served as a Eucharistic Minister and a lector. During his ministry he reached out and touched the hearts of many people within the Diocese of Lubbock, TX.
