With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we share the news of the passing of Rogelio Gómez-Bueno of San Marcos, California. Rogelio’s departure has left a deep void in the lives of his family and friends, who will forever remember him for his brilliant mind, quick wit, and extraordinary musical talent.
Rogelio was known for his intelligence and lively spirit—a man who always seemed to have the perfect joke for any occasion. Whether he was making someone laugh in a quiet moment or lifting the mood of a room with his humor, he had an innate ability to bring joy to those around him. But beyond his cleverness and humor, Rogelio possessed a unique musical gift that touched the hearts of many. His passion for music was not only heard, but deeply felt by all who had the privilege of experiencing it.
He was a devoted husband and a loving father to four children, each of whom carries a part of his legacy within them. To his family, Rogelio was more than the sum of his talents—he was a source of strength, love, and support. His presence brought comfort, his voice brought laughter, and his love brought unity. The loss of such a vibrant and compassionate soul is one that words can scarcely describe.
As his family begins the difficult journey of grieving and healing, they are surrounded by a community that shares in their sorrow and offers their heartfelt support. We ask that you keep Rogelio’s wife and children in your thoughts and prayers during this profoundly painful time.
In honoring Rogelio Gómez-Bueno’s life, let us remember the laughter he shared, the music he created, and the love he gave so freely. Though he may no longer be with us in person, his spirit will continue to resonate through the memories and melodies he leaves behind.
