Remembering Pablo Gomez and Supporting His Family After a Trench Collapse
At Iron Lot, we are saddened by the death of Pablo Gomez, a husband and father from Ceres, California. According to the Ceres Courier, Pablo died in a trench collapse near Hickman. He leaves behind his wife, Doris, two young daughters, and a son on the way.
We encourage our customers, colleagues, and the construction community to consider donating to the GoFundMe established in Pablo’s memory. Your support can help those closest to him as they prepare to say goodbye.
Donate to Pablo Gomez’s GoFundMe
Pablo had played goalkeeper for Modesto City Football Club and enjoyed training horses, the Courier reports. On his GoFundMe page, organizers Cindy Ramirez and Emmanuel Gomez Sanchez remember a loving father and friend who enjoyed dancing and brought joy to people around him. Their message asks for help giving Pablo a farewell that honors his life.
For the family and friends mourning Pablo, the loss extends far beyond the worksite. We hope the construction community will respond with care and generosity, helping the fundraiser reach people who would like to contribute.
If you are able to donate, please give whatever amount is comfortable for you. Many people making modest contributions can help move this effort forward. If a donation is not possible, sharing the GoFundMe link with friends, coworkers, or your company’s community is another way to offer support.
The Courier reports that Cal/OSHA is investigating the collapse. Pablo’s death is a painful reminder of why protecting people on excavation jobs matters. Every worker deserves to return home safely, and every discussion of trench safety should keep workers and their families at its center.
At Iron Lot, we extend our condolences to Pablo’s family, friends, teammates, and coworkers. Please join us in remembering him and supporting the people who loved him.
