Joe E. Gomes

Joe passed away on April 3, 2024 in Ukiah. He was born in the Azores on November 26, 1955 to Reginaldo and Maria Ines Gomes. At age 6 they moved to Canada and six years later the family moved to Fort Bragg where they joined several family members. Joe had a fondness for his Azores homeland and returned several times. He loved to travel and had visited 43 states plus Mexico, Canada, and Brazil. 

Left to cherish his memory are the love of his life, Joan Sutcliffe, brother Jeff Gomes, sister Lisa (Rob) Davenport, extended family David (Shirley) Sutcliffe, Christine (David) Soberanis, Leslie Brooke (Jon-Paul) De Lapo, many grandchildren and nieces and nephews. He will be missed for his quiet caring ways and his sense of humor. He loved his family and was proud of his Portuguese heritage. 

Hopefully, he'll meet up with Jimmy Buffett and they'll have a grand old time up there singing and laughing.
