Atanacio “AC” Carlos Gomez was born on Nov. 19, 1930 in New Mexico to Antonio and Gregorita Ulibarri Gomez. He died on Oct. 29, 2016 at home.

He enlisted in the U.S. Army/Air Force served in Korean Conflict for eight years.  He then moved to Salt Lake City to be close to his brother, Max, and worked for Delvies Plastics for 30 plus years.  

In 1989 he married Gerri Hecht.  He was a devout Catholic and a member of St. Ann Catholic Church, where he attended daily Mass and ushered. He was also active in Legion of Mary, CCD, and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

He is survived by his wife; sisters-in-law Judith, Rebecca, Stella and Jennie; brother-in-law Larry (Ashlee Temple) Hecht; and many nieces, nephews and godchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents and all his siblings.

The family offers a thank you to all the staff and volunteers at Community Nursing Services Hospice over the last three years, including Nursey Nurse, Jimmy J, Rubber Lady, and My Lili. Also special thank you to the many family and friends, too many to mention, who gave support to the family through this period.

A memorial Mass was Nov. at St. Ann Catholic Church. Online condolences may be offered to the family at www.starksfuneral.com. In lieu of flowers, donations are requested to Kearns St. Ann School or your favorite charity.
