Victor Murphy Antunez, born on January 4, 1944, in Los Angeles, California, passed away peacefully on August 23, 2025, in Jurupa Valley. He leaves behind a legacy rich in love, kindness, and cherished memories.

Victor was a devoted husband to his beloved wife Robin Antunez. Together, they created a home filled with warmth and laughter, where their family could flourish. Victor took immense pride in his children, Diane Antunez, Mona Antunez, Victor Antunez II, and Laurice Antunez, who were the heartbeat of his life. He found boundless joy in his role as a grandfather to Jessica, Tiffany, Nicole, Ashly, RJ, Victoria, Vanessa, Veronica, Victor III, Vincent, Ciera, and Jennifer. His legacy continues through his many great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, each of whom held a special place in his heart.

An exuberant spirit, Victor had a knack for reaching out to everyone he met. He was a man who loved to talk and made friends wherever he went. Spending time with his grandkids was an especially treasured part of his life, filled with shared laughter and wonder as he taught them new magic tricks or repeated old favorites. Victor's love extended beyond mere words; he showed kindness to all, leaving an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to cross his path.

Victor's hobbies reflected his vibrant personality. He delighted in collecting gold coins, hitting the golf course, and enjoying outings at the casino with Robin, where their laughter and joy became part of the atmosphere. He also revealed his creative side through woodworking, crafting thoughtful gifts that his family still treasures to this day.

Notable among his proudest accomplishments was the care he provided for Robin, demonstrating a devotion that inspired everyone around him. Unfortunately, Victor is preceded in death by his mother Lucille, father Andrew, daughter Becky, grandson Timothy, and three brothers and two sisters. Each of these losses marked a significant chapter in his life, shaping the man who was so deeply loved by those who remain.

As we bid farewell to Victor Murphy Antunez, we celebrate a life beautifully lived-a man who embraced his loved ones with open arms, laughter, and unwavering support. His memory will forever shine bright in our hearts as we continue to honor the love and kindness he imparted to all.
