Ramon Armando Gomez

Ramon Armando Gomez, affectionately known as Ray, was born on August 28, 1951, in Los Angeles, California and passed away on November 14, 2025, in Ontario, California. Raised in Monterey Park by his grandmother Blanca Rosa Silva Gomez and Uncle Oscar Gomez, Ray grew up surrounded by many cousins. He graduated from Mark Keppel High School in 1969, where he distinguished himself in athletics.

In 1970, Ray married Ofilia Flores Neyra, and together they welcomed two children, David Ray and Natalie Ann, before eventually divorcing. Later, Ray was blessed with a third child, Victoria Paige.

Ray dedicated four decades to Southern California Edison as a lineman, traveling across states to assist with disaster relief, including storm recovery efforts from Hurricane Jeanne in Florida, Hurricane Sandy in New York, Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana and storms throughout California.

A devout Christian, Ray attended in Calvary Chapels in Ontario, Chino Hills, and Rancho Cucamonga. He cherished his faith community serving as an usher and joined mission trips to Mexico and New York following September 11th.

During his lineman days, Ray played intramural basketball with his fellow SCE colleagues. He also coached youth sports teams including his son’s baseball and brother-in-law’s football teams.

Ray was an enthusiastic supporter of Southern California sports, especially UCLA teams, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Los Angeles Dodgers. He frequently attended Dodger games with his children, family, and friends.

Ray is survived by his three children, two sons-in-law, five grandchildren, many cousins, nieces and nephews and many brothers and sisters in Christ.

Ray’s celebration of life will be on December 12, 2025, at 11:00am at Rose Hills Memorial Park, Hua Yuan Hall of Grace Chapel in Whittier California.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to support local veterans’ groups in your community in Ray’s honor.
