In Loving Memory of Our Father Norberto Villalovos
Norberto Villalovos passed away peacefully, surrounded by his children, on June 11, 2025. He was 87. He was born on the 4th of July, 1937, in Pinole, California, to his proud parents Jose Villalovos and Ana Avila.
Norberto grew up loving trains, and that led him to working his whole adult life for Southern Pacific Railroad. He enjoyed Bay Area sports teams, the SF 49ers, and the Oakland A's. He had a passion for WWE wrestling and enjoyed watching old Westerns – his "cowboys". He loved dancing, singing, and making people laugh. He was a loving father, brother, and uncle to his many nieces and nephews.
Norberto is survived by his beloved children, daughter Jennifer, and son Jason, his sisters, Stella, and Irene, and his brother Tony, as well as numerous nieces and nephews, whom he loved dearly. He was preceded in death by his parents Jose and Ana. He will be deeply missed by his loving family and many friends.
Mehl's Colonial Chapel has been entrusted with his funeral arrangements.
