David Villarreal, born September 19, 1974, was called Home by our Lord Jesus on December 28, 2006. He was a kind soul who saw the would thru love filled eyes. He was a performance artist at the San Pedro Playhouse and filled the world with song with the Alamo City Men's Chorale Choir. He graduated from Holmes High School and attended North Texas State in Denton, Texas. His most joyous activity was spending quality "Tio" time with his nieces and nephew, Alexus, Mercedes, and Layla Salazar, and Jakob Villarreal. He is survived by his mother, Ana Laura Resendez, and his father, Carlos Villarreal Jr. and wife Esther, and his paternal grandmother, Mary J. Villarreal: sister, Monica Salazar and husband Mark, brother, Daniel Villarreal and wife Jennifer. Numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. He has left a huge void in our lives and will be missed by his large family and countless friends and coworkers. We are sure he is singing and dancing for our Father in heaven now and rejoicing at seeing his Guelo and Guela, Grandpa Carlos Sr. and step-dad, Bobby again. Thank you Jesus for the wonderful gift of David. WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU OR STOP LOVING YOU. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, December 30, 2006 at 7:00 pm at the Ortiz Mortuary Chapel, 3114 Culebra Rd. San Antonio, TX. No Flowers Please.
