Atanacio (Nacho) Vasquez, of Pflugerville, Texas, unexpectedly entered eternal rest on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at the age of 55.
He was a loving husband, father, brother, son, and papa to his grandchildren, who especially loved him. The greatest gift Nacho gave his family was the deep belief that family is everything - a truth he lived by, and one his wife, children, and grandchildren now carry in their hearts.
Nacho was the life of the party. Full of laughs, jokes, smiles, and a warm welcome, meal, and drink in hand whenever you walked through his doors. It was exactly this reason alone that he made a lasting impression on family and friends back in Michigan, as well as new family and friends in Texas.
One thing Nacho always did was leave a lasting impact - you never left his home without feeling like part of the family.
Those who knew him, knew his greatest loves in life were being surrounded by his grandchildren, cheering on the Detroit Lions and Michigan Wolverines, being everyone's personal human Google, grilling every chance he got, endlessly scrolling on TikTok, listening to Tejano music inside and outside of his house simultaneously, and making a dance floor anywhere he was.
Most importantly, his smile was as infectious as his heart was massive. Being in Nacho's presence left you knowing one thing - you couldn't wait to see him again. Now, as he leaves us, we find ourselves still smiling at the memory of his smile, longing to hear his laugh, and aching for just one more of his (un)forgettable jokes.
Nacho is survived by his wife, Gabriella Vasquez, his children, Joshua Vasquez (Jessica), Andreá Vasquez, and Adriana Langlais (Michael), his Mother Petra Vasquez, grandsons Joshua, Aaiden, Dominic, Luka, and Lorenzo, and granddaughters Lillyanna, Scarlett, Zoey, Cheyenne, and Laiken; several brothers, sisters, nephews, and nieces. He is preceded in death by his father Martin Vasquez, his sister Olga Vasquez, and nephews Aaron Vasquez and Tyler Varela.

Found these great photos of Coach Nacho´s infectious smile. These were from when he let us shave his head because we won softball districts at Pinery Park and from the state tournament in Escanaba. Sending lots of love. <3 Hentschel Fam

Sorry for your loss of such a great person. My condolences to all of the family and friends. I have memories of the wonderful time of his daughter's wedding. He was always enjoying dancing with everyone. He was a proud husband, father and grandfather. His pride was well seeing. A good caring person with empathy for all. To all cherish those great memories and don't be sad. As you remember him remember his laugh and smile and that will help in mourning. God bless all of you at this time.
