VILLARREAL
Carlos "Chuck" Villarreal
MSGT, USAF, Retired
December 24, 1943
April 25, 2011
In the early morning hours of April 25, 2011 Chuck peacefully departed this world to reside in eternal peace with God and Jesus Christ, his Lord and Savior. He was born to Avelino Villarreal and Ofelia Ramos who have preceded him in death. He was also preceded in death by his stepdaughter, Angela Chavez. He is survived by his loving wife and best friend, Laura Trevino Villarreal; his beloved daughters Teresa Lynn Garza (Michael) and Yvonne Vann (Kenneth); siblings Nancy Villarreal, Albert Villarreal, Yolanda Torres and Trinidad Daniel; numerous other family members in San Antonio as well as California. MSGT. Villarreal proudly served in the USAF for 26 years and retired with an Honorable Discharge in 1987 as a Master Sergeant, E-7. Throughout his military career he received numerous awards including the Air Force Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon, Vietnam Service Medal, Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, Meritorious Service Medal with 1 Oak Leaf Cluster, Air Force Commendation Medal with 3 Oak Leaf Clusters, Air Force Outstanding Unit Award with 2 Oak Leaf Clusters, Air Force Overseas Long Tour Ribbon, Air Force Overseas Short Tour Ribbon with 2 Oak Leaf Clusters and the Air Force Longevity Service Award Ribbon with 5 Oak Leaf Clusters. His last duty station was Kelly AFB, Security Police Forces. The Air Force afforded him the opportunity to become an accomplished guitarist, singer, bowler, golfer (8 handicap) and one heck of a softball pitcher! He then pursued a second career at Kelly Air Force Base in Civil Service and retired in 1996. He is also a graduate of Wayland Baptist University, class of '92. Chuck also leaves behind many good friends particularly his golfing buddies Vince Cano and Eli Lawson. His four-legged companions, Fifi, Petey-Jack, Chica and Gus will also miss their pack leader.

I was a friend of Chuck's, in So Cal, until he recruited me into the USAF, in 1979. He was a great guy and, I will always wish we could sit together, one more time! My deepest condolences go out to his entire family.

Chuck was suck a great guy! I used to go to his A.F. recruiting office in So Cal to hang-out and listen to him jam with a couple of other rockers ... until I enlisted, after the hostage situation in Iran. *Nov '79.

I send my heartfelt condolences to Chuck's family.
