Nicholas F. Gomes, 48, of Lamar, passed away at 2:02 p.m., on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at home surrounded by his family.
He was born March 10, 1978, in Merced, California, to Leonal and Joy (Peterson) Gomes. He married the love of his life, Anjanette Glass, on November 25, 2000, in Merced, California.
Nick was a devoted husband, proud father of six, and hardworking business owner. He valued the simple things in life and especially enjoyed spending time with good friends, eating Mexican food, and working hard. Some of his greatest joys were found at home, dancing in the kitchen with his wife and daughter and wrestling with his five sons. Above all, Nick treasured the time spent with his family and the memories they made together.
He is survived by his wife, Anjanette Gomes of Lamar; six children, Tucker, Riley, Spencer, Wesley, Emily and Titus Gomes, all at home; his parents, Leonal and Joy Gomes of Lamar; one sister, Jennifer (Mark) Enns of Fresno, California; and by one nephew, Dylan Enns.
A memorial service for Nicholas F. Gomes was held on Saturday, August 29, at Heritage Hills Baptist Church, 1415 West Christmas Blvd., Santa Claus. Pastor Jeff French officiated the service.
Rainey Funeral Home in Dale was entrusted with handling the arrangements. Memorial contributions may be made to the family to assist with the future needs and education of Nick’s children or to the Heritage Hills Baptist Church. Condolences may be shared at www.raineyfuneralhome.com.
