Ramon “Ray” Gomez, 84, of Silver City, entered eternal rest on Sept. 8, 2020 surrounded by his loving family.
He was born Sept. 2, 1936 in Hatch, NM to Francisca and Simon Gomez, attended Cobre High and settled in Silver City after barber school. Ray cut hair and swapped stories for over 52 years at Ray’s Barbershop and was proud to provide the “first haircut” to multiple generations.
