Rene was born to Francisco and Eva Villafuerte on November 27, 1961, in San Benito, Texas. He was a devoted family man, avid hunter and dedicated to the catholic church.

Rene is survived by his spouse, Theresa, his three children, Rene (Lauren), Kacey (Rey) and Ryan, his grandchildren, Olivia, Rene, and Russell, his four siblings, Francisco Jr., David, Mary Lou George and Elma Wood (Joel), his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law and his many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents, Francisco and Eva, and his brother, Enrique.
