Enrique D. Villanueva, a bright and ambitious young man, was born on January 3, 2007, in Laredo, Texas. He passed away on October 19, 2024 in San Antonio, Texas, leaving behind a legacy of promise and unfulfilled potential.
Enrique was a dedicated student who demonstrated exceptional talent and drive. He completed his high school education early and had already embarked on his college journey, marking the beginning of what was sure to be an inspiring academic career. His thirst for knowledge and commitment to learning were evident to all who knew him.
He is survived by his loving mother, Bernadette G. Herrera, and his step-father, Rafael Herrera. His father, Enrique Villanueva, Jr., and step-mother, Clarissa Villanueva, all who cherish the memories of their son. Enrique was a beloved brother to his siblings: Kaley, Sofia, Miguel, Joaquin, Alexa, Jaylene, Aaliyah, Chris, Adrian, Sebastian, and Tony. Each of them will carry his spirit with them as they navigate life's challenges.
Enrique's family reflects a strong bond of love and support that he cherished deeply. He is predeceased by his great-grandmother, Rosa Luna, and his cousin, Makayla Moreno. Their memory lives on in the hearts of those who loved them.
While Enrique's time with us was far too brief, his impact on his family and friends was profound. He will be remembered for his kindness, intelligence, and the light he brought into the lives of those around him. He leaves behind a void that will be felt deeply by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
