Pablo T. Villarreal, 66, of Port Isabel, Texas gained his wings and entered into eternal rest on Saturday, September 19, 2020 at McAllen Medical Center in McAllen, Texas. He was born on July 17, 1954 in Port Isabel, Texas to Pedro and Gertrudis Villarreal. Pablo was an amazing and humble man, always giving his time and skills to help those in need, a true angel here on Earth. He treasured his family and embraced every single moment with them. He had a vivacious personality and always made the people around him laugh. He was a true friend to everyone he met. He wrote his own rules and paved his own way and if you said he couldn’t do it, well he would make sure he could. He was the type of man that people always wanted to be around and brought an immense amount of love and light into this world. His smile was contagious. To know and be around him was to know true genuine happiness. He lived his life to the fullest and his presence in our lives will forever be a blessing. Although we will miss him, his smile, his pranks and his love, we take consolation in the good feelings of our memories. He will live on and be remembered forever by those of us who knew him and loved him. His guidance and love will carry us through until the end of our days.
