Timothy Edward Gonsalves was called home on Sept. 22, 2025, at the age of 68. He passed peacefully at his home in Winters, California, surrounded by his family. 

He was born in Woodland, California, on Oct. 14, 1956, to Rudolph Gonsalves and Margie Gonsalves, who have both preceded him in death. 

Timothy was a motivated man always looking to improve anything he could. Eventually starting Performance Glass in Santa Rosa, California, where he was able to mentor many young people, giving them the tools to have their own successful careers in the glazing industry. 

He was a very active man throughout his life. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, hiking, mountain biking and even had his pilot’s license. He logged many hours flying his Mooney airplane taking trips alongside his father who was also a pilot. It is his family’s hope that they are flying high together once more and fishing in the most beautiful waterways that the afterlife has to offer. 

Timothy has been preceded in death by his parents; his brothers, Randy, Bill and Stormy; his sister, Marie; and his Best Friend, Don Stranathan. 

He leaves behind his three children, Justin Gonsalves, Sheridan Gonsalves and Aimee Gonsalves; his five grandchildren, Bailey, Haydon, Maliya, Garrett and Adelynn; his brother, Mark Gonsalves; his sister, Delorace Falk; his daughter-in-law, Brenda Gonsalves; his son-in-law, John Chavez; as well as countless friends and extended family members. 

A celebration of life is being held at the Saralee Barn at 1996 Linwood Ave., Santa Rosa, on Oct. 14 from 2 to 5 p.m. This event is open to all friends and family.
