Edgardo Gomez
December 2, 1945- June 21, 2024
Edgardo Gomez, known as "Honey" or "Tito" to loved ones, passed away unexpectedly on June 21, 2024, in Houston, Texas. He was 78 years old.
Born in Calarca, Quindio, Colombia on December 2, 1945, Edgardo brought a zest for life wherever he went. He earned a degree in Electrical Engineering in Colombia before moving to Texas in the early 1980s, where he embarked on a successful career in construction.
Edgardo was a true renaissance man. An accomplished electrical engineer by trade, he possessed a mastery of many skills, including carpentry, grilling (a true "pit-master"), and cooking. He was a strategic chess player and an avid reader. But beyond his talents, Edgardo's greatest joy came from his family. He was known for his infectious sense of humor and his deep love for his wife, Miriam Echeverry, his children, Eliana Monita (and husband Dominic) and Jorge Mejia (and wife Katy), and his cherished grandson, Edu Pales. He is also survived by his siblings, Aicardo Gomez, Gildardo Gomez, and Nidia Jimenez.
Edgardo will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Edgardo Gomez, mejor conocido por sus seres queridos como “Honey” o “Tito” falleciό inesperadamente el 21 de junio de 2024 en Houston, Texas a la edad de 78 años.
Nació en Calarca, Quindio, Colombia el 2 de diciembre de 1945. Edgardo siempre le daba un toque especial a la vida donde quiera que estuviese. Obtuvo su título universitario en Colombia como ingeniero electrónico antes de mudarse a Houston en los 80’s donde embarco en una carrera en construcción.
Edgardo era un ser con muchos talentos. Siendo un ingeniero electrónico, también poseía muchas habilidades, incluyendo la carpintería, los asados (era todo un professional para preparer la carne asada) y para cocinar. Era un genio para jugar al ajedrez y leer era otra de sus pasiones. Pero aparte de sus talentos, su mayor alegría se la proporcionaba su familia. Era conocido por su sentido el humor y por su amor profundo hacia su esposa, Miriam Echeverry, sus hijos, Eliana Monita (y su esposo Dominic) y Jorge Mejia (y su esposa Katy), y su adorado nieto, Edu Pales. Lo sobrevive sus hermanos, Aicardo Gomez, Gildardo Gomez, y Nidia Jimenez.
Edgardo será extrañado enormemente por todo aquel quien lo conoció y lo quiso.

Fuiste el mejor padre que la vida pudo haberme dado. Siempre a mi lado en todo momento. Siendo fuerte cuando te necesitaba. Supiste amarme con todos mis defectos y virtudes. No solo fuiste un gran padre, fuiste el mejor abuelo que Edu pudo tener. Gracias a ti, aprendimos mucho y llevaremos tus palabras y tu amor siempre en el corazón. Te amo y te extraño.
