Wilibaldo “Willy” Gonzalez passed away peacefully at his home in Midvale, UT on February 20, 2021. Our father was born July 7, 1928 in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico to Vincente Gonzalez and Dolores Ferreira. He married Maria Elena Ramirez, the love of his life.
The legacy our father left his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren is that of a simple life, endless generosity, and the joy of seeing his family together. He will be missed.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions and our father’s wishes, we will celebrate his life in Mexico at a later date. If you would like to share a story or condolence, please visit larkincares.com.

Willy was a wonderful man. He was always kind to me and cared deeply for his family. He had a great work ethic and taught me a love for cooking. I still have the monarcas keychain and sombrero keychain that he brought back for me from Morelia. I will miss him dearly. Thank you Gonzalez family for sharing your father and grandfather with me and my family!
I certainly has been a blessing to have know Willy and the rest of the Gonzalez family for almost 50 years. Willy was a gentleman and wonderful father. It has been my pleasure to remain friends with the entire family. Though we don't see each other much, all of Willy's children remain dear friends.
He had wonderful and life and will be missed. So my condolences to the entire family and know every-time I pass the Morelia Restaurant I will think of him.
Sus Amigo, Siempre

Lamentando la ausencia de Willy Gonzalez y acompanandolos en el sentimiento enviamos nuestras mas mas sentidas condolencias a sus hijos y miembros de su familia.
Your father was so sweet ! I had a hard time with knowing if it was him or his brother. So he always started the conversation como esta la familia de la Cruz and my puzzled face would go away knowing it was your dad and we would have a great conversation catching up . Your sweet parents sure raised a great family! So sorry for your lose from the de la Cruz and McCurdy families we love you💖 all lots and cherish your friendship.
Our condolences to the Gonzalez family. He will always be in our heart. He cherished his family. His family cherished him like I saw for myself specially in 1973 - 1977.
Papa Willy was so loved by his family and his friends. He had such a special bond with Adaline. I can't thank this man enough for coming to the states and bringing with him his wonderful children. I owe him so much! You will always be remembered in my heart.
Mister Willy Gonzalez, a sophisticated, kind and wonderful man. We send our sincere condolences and love to the Gonzalez family. May he rest in peace and may his memory be eternal.
