New Yorkers remember him as the chief medical correspondent who guided them throughout the coronavirus pandemic. Gomez received many accolades and awards throughout his career for reporting on subjects ranging from 9/11 to the AIDs epidemic. For reporting on twin girls with leukemia he won awards from The Marfan Foundation and the Leukemia Society of America. His death leaves behind his two children, Max Gomez IV and Katie Gomez. He is remembered fondly by his coworkers as New York affiliate CBS station WCBS outlined his life's work and commendations. "Dr. Gomez was deeply loved and respected in our newsroom, by medical professionals he worked with, patients who shared their stories with him and our viewers," said the news station. "He was our in-house consultant for whatever ailed us, eager to help, genuinely concerned and never thought twice about going the extra mile." His death comes just shortly after the news station lost another of its own suddenly. In July, meteorologist Elise Finch died unexpectedly at the age of 51. "Elise was a gifted and consummate professional who took great care with her work. She was also a wonderful ambassador in the community, including her hometown of Mount Vernon," wrote the news affiliate upon news of her passing. They continued, "She was our bright light in the morning. We had the great pleasure of working with Elise for 16 years." With her death, Finch left behind her husband Graig Henriques, and daughter, Grace. Colleagues of both Finch and Gomez have taken to sharing their memories and fond thoughts about Gomez. "He was one of the signature pieces of this place as I like to call him,” anchor Chris Wragge said in a tribute to Gomez. Continuing, "Certain places have foundational pieces – Dr. Max was just one of those guys that every time you saw him you immediately identified him not only as Dr. Max but CBS 2’s Dr. Max.” Another anchor spoke to his viewership. “He was in tune with the viewer...In this business, you have to have a connection. If there’s no connection, then there’s no message. Dr. Max mastered that," said Kristine Johnson. #drmaxgomez #cbs #newyork #celebritydeath
