Guillermo Villalobos Obituary
Guillermo "Willie" Villalobos went to be with the Lord, and join his beloved wife Libertad "Libby" Villalobos on July 22, 2020. Willie was born third in the family, joining his two sisters, to Mr. Guillermo and Mrs. Consuelo Villalobos. He was born in the small incorporated city of South San, south of San Antonio, where he grew up and attended South San schools. As a student, he was always active in baseball and football, both in school and baseball little leagues. He graduated from South San High School with the Class of 1961. In 1962, he decided to follow in his father's footsteps and join the US Navy. He was stationed in Pensacola, Florida aboard the aircraft carrier USS Lexington, and was onboard during the time they were involved in the 13 day Cuban Missile Crisis. He served from 1962 to 1964, and was Honorably Discharged.
In December 1965, he married the love of his life, Libby. They were married 42 years until her passing in December 2007. Together they had two children, Laura Rebekah and William Benjamin. After his military service, Willie worked at Kelly Air Force Base. He retired in 1999 after decades of service.
Willie was always involved in his church, where he always served with joy, first at Iglesia Bautista Sur San Antonio, and later at El Tabernaculo. He was a longtime member of Texas Masonic Lodge No 8 AF & AM where he held several positions including Worshipful Master and Secretary. He was a gifted, self-taught woodcrafter, and he loved to spend time with his children and later with his grandchildren, especially if it involved sports.
With his passing, he leaves behind his children and their spouses, Laura and Armando Capote, Benjamin and Roxanne Villalobos, and 4 grandchildren, Alexandria (Steven) Simpson, Madeline Rodriguez, and Emily and Ezra Villalobos. His two sisters Ofelia V. Gustafson, Gregoria Ruth Villalobos, and his younger brother David Villalobos also survive him. William will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
The family must regretfully limit attendance at the funeral services to immediate family due to health and safety concerns.

It has been almost 5 years since he was called home and I still miss him. I could not write anything when he left. It was too difficult. He and I were the middle children in our family, so we bonded, not only as brother and sister, but as friends. I have great memories of so many of our good times together and I have always cherished them. I will always be grateful I was blessed w him as my brother. Sadly, i will never see him on this Earth again, but I know we will joyfully meet on the other side.

Our Brother Willie,
You have been a dear friend and Brother to the Waldschmidt family for over 20 years. You helped Randy join Texas 8 after Randy's dad, Herb, passed away in 1991. You were there for Randy during that dark time and for us during our wedding, Heather's birth and throughout the years. You were always a phone call away for us. You are loved and you are missed! Thank you for your love, friendship and guidance. May God comfort your family and friends. Well done, good and faithful servant.
Love,
Randy, Carla and Heather Waldschmidt

My sincerest and deepest condolences to the Villalobos family. I knew Willie back in the days of Kelly AFB working in the Aircraft Quality Division in building 375. I'll never forget the day I asked him for a petition, his face lit up and asked me why? I told him my story about another brother whose actions just amazed me. Willie was grinning from ear to ear. Since that day he helped me along with other brothers, Danny O for one, with my studies. Rest In Peace my Brother.

To the family of Brother Willie Villalobos, I offer my deepest and most heartfelt condolences and my prayers.
Brother Willie was a great Brother, a mentor to myself, and a corner stone to Texas 8. Brother Willie was one of a very few Brothers at Texas 8, still around who knew my dad. Brother Willie would call and talk with my dad when he was going through his cancer treatment. Brother Willie was a benchmark of what a Mason should strive to be.
May our Heavenly Father Bless all of the Villalobos family in this time of sorrow.
God Bless

A wonderful person has left us. I will forever remember the fun cousin I used to “pal” around with as a teenager. As adults, we used technology and sent emails to keep in touch. I will miss him forever. Rest In Peace, Willie.

In 2000, when I served as District Deputy Grand Master, Willie went above and beyond to make me feel at ease And welcome. His personal invitation to many brethren produced a record crowd for my official visits that year! What a wonderful example to the lodge and Masonry in general! A great man and mason!

As we age in our lives, we age in our friends and my Brother Willie gave me that in his life as we aged together and grew in our friendship through work at Kelly AFB and through Masonry at both Texas Lodge No. 8 and Blue Bonnet Lodge No. 1219. We both know that we will meet again and continue our relationship. To Brother "Willie's" family I offer my deepest and most heartfelt condolences and my prayers.
I leave these thoughts for us all to ponder:
"Again a prince has fallen in the fight
A stalwart champion of the truth and right:
Determined, honest, levelheaded, just,
Who broke no promise, nor betrayed a trust.
His genial face with courtly kindness beamed-
By his friends beloved, by all the world esteemed."
Rest in peace mi Hermano, rest in peace.
