Manuel Rodolfo Villarreal

Manuel Rodolfo Villarreal, age 60, of Oak Cliff, Texas, passed away on October 17, 2025. He was born on November 13, 1964, in Dallas, Texas.

Manuel was the beloved son of Socorro Villarreal and the late Monico Villarreal. He is survived by his loving mother, Socorro; his siblings Monico Villarreal Jr., Ileana Gonzalez, Geraldine Holden, Sigifredo Villarreal, and Griselda Villarreal; and by many cherished nieces and nephews who adored their Uncle Manuel.

A proud graduate of W.H. Adamson High School, Manuel worked alongside his father as a machinist, where he learned the value of hard work and dedication. He often said with pride, “tengo cuerpo de hierro” — “I have a body of iron.”

Manuel’s humor and joyful spirit brought laughter to everyone he met. He loved music, dancing, video games, and of course, his chocolate. He never met a stranger and had a gift for making people feel welcome and loved.

Above all, Manuel was a devoted caregiver to his mother and his brother Sigi, showing deep love and compassion through his actions every day. His kindness, laughter, and big heart will be remembered forever by all who knew him.
