He was “la alegría de la casa,” added his grandmother Teresa Santos, with whom González lived. The joy of the house.
“He was always happy, happy, happy,” his grandmother, Santos, said in Spanish. “He never had an angry expression.” The young man, who regularly accompanied her to church, would attempt to transmit that joy whenever Santos appeared down. “Don’t be sad,” he’d tell her. “Laugh.”
He had his friends’ backs, too, according to his internship supervisor Agustín Angel Bernabe, who works at the Latino Task Force, a coalition of Mission groups. As a summer intern at the organization, González helped with outreach to community members about available resources and told peers about opportunities from which they could benefit.
González was also a budding entrepreneur who had launched a clothing line called BBDR, or “Born Broke, Die Rich.” He had the chops. As recently as this month, he sold BBDR merchandise at an event by Calle 24 Latino Cultural District and Clecha, a Latino business organization, in the Mission. He made a compelling presentation and won BBDR a grant from the organization Roadmap to Peace, where he was once a member.
Angel Bernabe proudly attended González’s graduation from Civic Center Secondary School this summer, where he completed credits he had missed during the pandemic. He finished the task “in like, a week,” his mother beamed. She expected no less from her intelligent son, who as a child was a stellar student at John Muir Elementary and Parkside Intermediate School, she said.
