Troy Anthony Villarreal, a lifelong resident of Houston, Texas, entered into eternal rest with our Lord, Jesus Christ on November 17, 2025, at the young age of 38. Born on September 8, 1987 to Florinda Gutierrez and Anthony Villarreal, Troy grew up surrounded by family, friendship, and the familiar comforts of the city he called home.
A graduate of the Spring Woods High School Class of 2006, Troy carried a quiet strength and a steady dedication into everything he did. He devoted his career to the service industry, where his kindness, reliability, and warm spirit made a lasting impression on those around him.
Troy was known for his creativity and the gentle passions that colored his life. He found joy in sketching, playing his guitar, collecting comic books, and gaming—simple pleasures that reflected his thoughtful, imaginative nature. Those who knew him will forever remember his unique spark and the comfort of his presence.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Ruperto and Josie Rodriguez and Alfonso and Irma Tijerina; his great grandparents, Leopoldo and Hilaria Villarreal; and special uncles, Jesse R. Villarreal and Leo Villarreal.
Troy’s memory will live on in the hearts of his loved ones: his mother, Florinda (Alex) Gutierrez; his father, Anthony (Liz) Villarreal; his half-siblings, Diana Villarreal and Christopher Villarreal; and his step-siblings, Amanda (Juan) Moreno, Alex Gutierrez Jr., and Alyssa Gutierrez. He will also be lovingly remembered by his Uncles, Johnny Villarreal, Joe (Linda) Rodriguez, Aunt Lisa Rodriguez (Kirsten Brueggerhoff), niece, Emma Moreno, and his nephew, Daniel Moreno, along cousins, extended family and close friends who will continue to honor his life and the love he shared with those he was closest to.
