VICTOR LEAL Obituary
1952 - 2021
Victor Leal, 69, of Calexico, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones on October 6, 2021, after a lengthy battle with cancer.
Victor grew up in Calexico, and graduated from Calexico High School in 1971. He married the love of his life, Lourdes on November 22 1975, and they went on to raise their 3 sons in Calexico where Victor worked at G.I. Trucking Company for many years before happily retiring to spend time doing what he loved the most, mainly remodeling his home and pampering his 3 beloved grandchildren. Victor was known as hard-working, cantankerous, but ultimately loving to his family, friends, and his passion and appreciation for music, particularly The Beatles, was unparalleled.
He is survived by his wife, Lourdes; sons and daughters in law, Ivan and Martha Leal; Chris and Viviana Leal; son, Jordan Leal; grandchildren, Galilea, Jared, and Bethany Leal; mother, Maria Wheat; sisters, Maria Agundez and Patricia Wheat Meza; brothers, Rene and Ricardo Wheat. He will also be fondly remembered by countless cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.
A celebratory mass, officiated by Reverend Jose Sosa, will be held on Saturday, November 6 2021, at 2 p.m. at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish in Calexico, CA.

Well after 35 years of been next block neighbors, I do have good memories from Mr. Leal. I went to school with his sons. As a kid when I joined the neighborhood I can remember every Halloween he would decorate his garage as a hunted house so us kids would have that Halloween taste. It´s amazing how he took the time to create something like that for kids that are asking for candy and other treats. It´s impossible to say we the ones that grew up on the neighborhood would not remember Mr. Leal and his amazing dedication for us kids around the neighborhood. God bless Mr. Leal and hope his family finds peace for that big loss. RIP Mr. Victor Leal.
