On February 25, 2023, our father Jose Villarreal Jr. was called home by his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at the age of 89 surrounded by his family and loved ones, after a courageous three-year battle against cancer. Joe never gave up and fought to the very end.

Joe lived a long and blessed life joining the United States Air Force after graduating from Fox Tech High School. Joe retired from the Air Force after 20 years of service and then became a member of the Fort Sam Houston Fire Department, where he would ultimately attain the rank of Fire Captain and retire after 20 years of service.

Joe is survived by his loving wife of 65 years, Guadalupe, his children Edward Sr. (Suzie), David (Mary) and Christina (Thaddeus); grandchildren Edward Jr., John Michael (Ann) Jenison, Exsela, Emily Rose, Koreena, Denise, Stephanie, Nora and Victor; 6 great grandsons.  Joe is also survived by his sisters: Irma, Rose Mary, Maria Theresa, Yolonda, Marlene; and brothers, Alex and Robert.
