Henry Villegas Obituary

In Memoriam Henry G. "Enrique" Villegas Local media pioneer Henry G. "Enrique" Villegas, radio announcer, co-host of television show "Mexican Theater," and veteran of the Arizona National Guard's 158th Infantry Regiment ("The Bushmasters"), passed away thirty-five years ago today. Taken from us suddenly at the age of 48, your passing broke our hearts in ways that time will never heal. Your loving family continues to grieve and will miss you always. The wonderful memories you left us will never be forgotten, and we honor your tragically shortened life as a loving husband, father, and grandfather. May the Lord continue to bless and keep you until we are reunited once again as a family. With greatest love and affection, your wife Carmen, children Henry, Anna Marie, Rebecca, Rick, Isabel, and many extended family members and friends.

Tata,
I never had the opportunity to meet you but I take such pride in you and having your name. All the things I hear from everyone, family, friends, and people of the community all have such wonderful things to say about you. I can only imagine what it would have been like to have you in my life.

53 years ago I was a 16 year old who became part of the Arizona National Guard unit there in Tucson.
I remember the First Sergeant Henry Villegas. I assume that this is who this obituary is about. I am so sorry to learn that he passed at such a young age. However, life is like the twinkling of an eye, and God always calls home the one's he wants with him. I really appreciate my brother Gilbert sending me this information.
May God bless the Villegas family.
