In Loving Memory
6/27/1981 - 9/2/2023
Age 42
Arthur Benny Chavez Jr...More fondly known as Gooch to anyone who cared for him, was a father first to 5 children Anthony, Aaron, Alexis, Hailee and Leanna. He was also a son to Art Sr. his father and Rita his mother. Brother to his 2 younger siblings Celina and Rudy. He was also an uncle, a nephew, and cousin to a much wider family that is too many to list here. Gooch was a man who left an impression on all he encountered. He knew the importance of taking care of his family and he gave all that he had to honor that commitment. His loyalty to his closest friends and loved ones was expressed everyday in the way he lived his life. Gooch was the type of man that everyone wanted to be around, the life of the party, If you walked into a room with a sad face and Gooch recognized it, He would make sure you did not walk out without a smile. That is the mark he leaves on the world. His smile was one that could make a dark day bright. In his absence those who love him will always have that to remember him by. The countless stories of laughter, joy, and silliness. Stories that can be shared with fondness to all who will miss him for years to come.
