José "Tony" González

July 31, 1941 — July 15, 2025

En Memoria de José (Tony) González

El mundo ha perdido a un gran ser humano, un padre amoroso, abuelo y amigo. Tony partió de esta vida el 15 de julio del 2025, a solo dos semanas de cumplir 84 años. Tony nació en Cuba, el menor de cuatro hermanos y el único varón. Solía bromear que, con tantas hermanas mayores, tenía cuatro madres. Siempre fue un pensador analítico; le encantaba construir, arreglar cosas, y disfrutaba de las matemáticas, la física y todas las ciencias, aunque su verdadera pasión era la mecánica.

Le gustaba pasar tiempo con sus amigos y salir a bailar, lo cual lo llevó a conocer a quien sería su esposa durante 60 años. Se casaron después de dos años y tuvieron a sus dos hijos mayores en Cuba. Debido a la situación política, tomaron la decisión de emigrar, para ofrecerle a su familia mejores oportunidades y una vida mejor.

Después de varias mudanzas, se establecieron en Miami, Florida, donde se reencontraron con parte de su familia extendida, muchos amigos de la infancia y forjaron nuevas amistades cercanas. Allí encontró un hogar y una vida donde se sentía más cercano a Cuba, lo cual lo hacía feliz y le daba tranquilidad de que su familia podría prosperar y salir adelante.

¡Su mayor amor siempre fue su familia!

Le precedieron en la muerte sus padres, Antonio y Antonia; sus hermanas Margot y Carmen; y su sobrino Eugenito.

Le sobreviven su esposa Mérida, sus hijos Javier (María), Judith (Julio) e Inés; su hermana gemela Elena (Luis); su cuñada Migdalia (Domingo); sus nietos David (Michelle), Jade, Julianne (Eddy), Ivy, Ben y Peter; sus sobrinos Raúl y Joel (Meiko); sus sobrinas Ana Margarita y Diana; sus sobrinos-nietos Raúl y Jorgito; sus sobrinas-nietas Amara, Danay (Ricky) y Maia; sus bisnietos Logan y Leia; su sobrina-bisnieta Mariam; y su sobrino-bisnieto Alejandro.

También le sobreviven miembros extendidos de la familia política: Miriam, María Teresa, Vivian (Andrés), Louis (Reena), Sandy (Caton), Danny, Natalie, Summer, Amber, Louis, London y Lorelai.

In Memory of Jose "Tony" Gonzalez

The world has lost a great soul, loving father, abuelo, and friend! Tony departed this life on July 15, 2025, two weeks shy of turning 84.

Tony was born in Havana, Cuba, the youngest of four, and the only boy. He often teased that with all the older sisters, he had four mothers. Always the analytical thinker, he was often building or tinkering, he loved mathematics, physics and all the sciences, but being a mechanic was his true passion. He enjoyed hanging with his friends and going out dancing—which led to him meeting his wife of 60 years. They were married after two years and had their two oldest children in Cuba. Due to the political climate, they made choice to immigrate in order to give his family better opportunities. After several moves, they ended up in Miami, FL, where they were reunited with some extended family, many childhood friends, and made many more close friendships. This is where he found a home and life that felt closest to Cuba, made him happy, and he could be at peace that his family would be able to flourish and succeed. His biggest love has always been his family!

He is preceded in death by his parents: Antonio and Antonia, his sisters: Margot and Carmen and his nephew: Eugenio.

He is survived by his wife: Merida; children: Javier (Maria), Judith (Julio), and Ines; twin sister: Elena (Luis); sister-in-law: Migdalia (Domingo); grandchildren: David (Michelle), Jade, Julianne (Eddy), Ivy, Ben, and Peter; nephews: Raul, and Joel (Meiko); nieces: Ana Margarita, and Diana; grandnephews: Raul and Jorjito; grandnieces: Danay (Ricky), and Maia; great-grandchildren: Logan, and Leia; great-grandniece: Mariam; great-grandnephew: Alejandro.
