Daniel Villarreal 9 de enero de 1950 – 24 de junio de 2025

Con profundo dolor, la familia Villarreal comunica el fallecimiento de Daniel Villarreal, quien partió en paz el 24 de junio de 2025 en Albuquerque, Nuevo México, a la edad de 75 años. Daniel nació el 9 de enero de 1950 en San José de Bácum, Sonora, México.

Le sobreviven su amada esposa, Rosa María Villarreal; sus hijos Daniel Villarreal y esposa Judith, Jesús Villarreal y su esposa Nichole, y sus queridos nietos Luis Carlos, Daniela, Camila, Luciana y María José.

Daniel emigró a los Estados Unidos en busca del Sueño Americano. Comenzó su vida laboral como mecánico, y gracias a su esfuerzo y dedicación, logró establecer su propio taller de reparación de autos. Más adelante, su espíritu emprendedor lo llevó a fundar una agencia de autos usados. En una etapa posterior de su vida, hizo un cambio significativo de carrera y se convirtió en agente de seguros, profesión que ejerció con éxito hasta su retiro debido a problemas de salud.

Daniel fue un hombre de profunda fe católica y miembro devoto de la Parroquia San José en Albuquerque, donde asistía con fidelidad a misa cada domingo y participaba activamente en la vida parroquial. Su espiritualidad fue siempre el pilar que sostuvo su vida.

La memoria de Daniel vivirá en los corazones de quienes lo amaron. Que su ejemplo de trabajo, fe y dedicación a la familia continúe siendo una fuente de inspiración para todos.

Daniel Villarreal, 75, passed away peacefully on June 24, 2025, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was born on January 9, 1950, in San José de Bácum, Sonora, Mexico.

Daniel Villarreal

January 9, 1950 – June 24, 2025

Daniel is survived by his loving wife, Rosa Maria Villarreal; his sons, Daniel Villarreal and his wife Judith, Jesus Villarreal and his wife Nichole; and his cherished grandchildren, Luis Carlos, Daniela, Camilla, Luciana, and Maria Jose.

Daniel immigrated to the United States in pursuit of the American Dream. He began his career as a mechanic and, through dedication and hard work, opened his own auto repair shop. His entrepreneurial spirit later led him to establish a used car dealership. In a significant career shift later in life, Daniel became an insurance agent—a role in which he thrived until retiring due to illness.

A man of deep Catholic faith, Daniel was a devoted member of San Jose Parish in Albuquerque. He faithfully attended Mass each Sunday and actively participated in church activities. His spiritual life was central to his identity and sustained him throughout his journey.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to inspire all who were touched by his life.
