Jairo Villalba, 65, of Wesley Chapel, Florida, passed away on August 8, 2025. He was born to Hernando Villalba and Maria T. Rueda and grew up surrounded by a loving family, including his brothers Jorge and Oscar, and his sisters Rosalba, Dora, and Diana.
Jairo will be remembered for his warm personality and many admirable qualities. He was funny, likeable, and always ready to bring joy to those around him. He was a joker at heart, yet deeply responsible, loving, and hardworking. His passion for life extended to his hobbies, which included playing soccer and gardening, both of which brought him great happiness.
He loved the word of God and speaking about it to those around him and living according to it.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Martha Villalba, and his children, Jonathan and Harold. He is also remembered fondly by many nieces and nephews, including Jennifer, Michael, James, Pierre, Andres, Miguel, Angel, Nicholas, Jessica, and Jorge, as well as many friends who will miss him dearly.
