Keeping the good memories in our hearts helps bring a smile to our face and reminds us of how valuable life and relationship should be! James and Gloria have been our local travel buddies, and Friday dinner dates! We will surely miss our times together! 🫶🏼

My deepest sympathies to the whole family. I only knew James through softball but his energy and positive attitude was contagious. There was no one like him and he will be truly missed by all of us in the softball community.

May he rest in peace.

To Gloria and the Villarreal family sorry for your loss . James certainly is gone from us to soon . I’ve known James for over fourth years he introduced me to my sons mother . Taught how easy it was pull out a 67 vw  engine to change the clutch and throw out bearing in that was many years ago .  Thank you my friend see you in the next life  . 
                              GOD BLESS 🙏

Had the honor of my dad walking me down the aisle in January 2026. 🩷 a moment I’ll cherish forever.
