Jose Villarreal Jr.
February 25, 2023
On February 25, 2023, our father Jose Villarreal Jr. was called home by his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at the age of 89 surrounded by his family and loved ones, after a courageous three-year battle against cancer. Joe never gave up and fought to the very end.

Joe lived a long and blessed life joining the United States Air Force after graduating from Fox Tech High School. Joe retired from the Air Force after 20 years of service and then became a member of the Fort Sam Houston Fire Department, where he would ultimately attain the rank of Fire Captain and retire after 20 years of service.

Joe is survived by his loving wife of 65 years, Guadalupe, his children Edward Sr. (Suzie), David (Mary) and Christina (Thaddeus); grandchildren Edward Jr., John Michael (Ann) Jenison, Exsela, Emily Rose, Koreena, Denise, Stephanie, Nora and Victor; 6 great grandsons; sisters: Irma, Rose Mary, Maria Theresa, Yolonda, Marlene; and brothers, Alex and Robert.

Services: Tuesday, March 7th at St. Ann's Catholic Church with Rosary at 12:15pm followed by Mass at 1:00pm. Interment at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery with military honors.

ALL one can end with is, BE STRONG IN THIS TIME of MOURNING, REMEMBER ALL THE GOOD TIMES, THOSE THAT IGNITE LAUGHS, SMILES, EVERYTHING GOOD AND...

Eddie I am praying for you and your family. I pray God gives you peace at this time.

While I did not know Mr. Jose Villarreal Jr., I know his son David as we work together at NEISD PD. David, I know that death is very cruel and it's sting hurts deeply. However, knowing your Dad was a servant of Jesus Christ and chose a life of service it is not surprising that he waged a valiant fight against cancer until the end. Having said that, you and your family can take comfort in the fact he now suffers no pain, no sorrow, no regrets. I am supposing he is looking down from the balcony...

Our deepest condolences to you and your family. I pray for grace and peace during this transition.
