Andrew Gomez, aka King
Drew, was born August 12, 1976,
to Steve and Mickey Gomez,
and passed away on January 10,
2020, in Grand Junction, CO,
surrounded by numerous loved
ones.
From day one, Andrew lived
life to the fullest creating many
memorable moments all while
smiling, laughing, cracking
jokes, and being a natural born leader. A humorous and generous
soul, he was the life of the party. He was always ready to ride, debate
politics, talk sports, explore new destinations, sing karaoke, bust a
move and jam out to old school and rap music. Not only did Andrew
have the best hair around, it was only fitting that he became an
amazing barber at a very young age. He held his relationships in
high regard, always lending a listening ear and sharing his wisdom.
Andrew was a proud Chicano who became fond of his Queen
Gina during their time at East Middle School. Together they
established a strong family unit with four beautiful children who he
sang to on a daily basis. The way he adored his family, especially
the love of his life, was admirable, as he always set high standards.
His pride and joy, there was nothing he wouldn’t do to ensure his
family’s happiness.
A die hard 49ers and Yankees fan, the Great Drewdini predicted
the outcomes of games on a regular basis. He was a proud Wolverines
Head Coach, leading his team to two Super Bowl Championships.
The following year, when the team moved to the fifth grade and
were supposed to be the Chiefs, only Andrew Gomez himself could
convince the league to change them to the 49ers.
He also made people feel special in his unique ways from random
messages, pranks, surprise visits, and thoughtful gifts including
financial support during difficult times. As a giver and pillar in
the community, he instinctively shared his blessings even with
strangers. He would give the shirt off his back for someone if
they needed it. He prioritized his family and made sure they were
well taken care of and included as many people as possible on his
travel adventures. His love for familia went beyond the norm and
extended to the wider community. The impact of his passing has
already been felt far and wide. A one of a kind legend, he will be
greatly missed.
Andrew is survived by his wife, Gina; children, Drew (Bella and
granddaughter, Mila), Brooklyn, Rio Bella and Isa; parents, Steve
and Mickey; siblings, Lizzy Martinez (nephew and Godson, Gabriel
Martinez), Stevie (Amanda and niece, Mercedez and step-nieces
and nephews), and Sonia. Andrew and Gina are also Godparents
to Amiriza Montoya and Josiah Martinez. He is survived by aunts,
uncles, cousins, and friends he considered family.
