Jimmy Tarin Gomez

Jimmy Tarin Gomez, 75, of San Angelo, Texas, passed away on Saturday, September 19, 2026.

He was born in Plainview, Texas, on March 20, 1951, to Thomas and Aurelia (Tarin) Gomez. A proud Bearcat graduate of Ballinger High School, Jimmy continued his athletic career by playing football and running track at Abilene Christian University. Jimmy was a gentle soul, and enjoyed some of the simpler things in life, especially the outdoors and fishing. He was an employee with Ethicon for Johnson and Johnson for over 36 years. He was very proud of his yellow El Camino that he would drive around with his motorcycle strapped to the back.

Jimmy is preceded in death by his parents Thomas and Aurelia Gomez, his sisters Lorina Gomez and Rosa Pallanez, and his brother Danny Gomez.

He is survived by his daughter Kelly Deanda (Isaac), his brother Robert “Bobby” Gomez (Josie), and grandchildren Serena Gomez, Blake Bennett, AJ Deanda, and Kimberly Deanda along with several nieces and nephews.

A rosary for Jimmy will be held on Thursday, September 24, 2026, at 6:00 pm at the chapel at Lange Funeral Home in Ballinger, Texas.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation in Jimmy’s honor, or a charity of choice.
