Willie P Alcala

Willie Puente Alcala, 75, passed away on October 12, 2026, in Dallas, Texas.

Born in Dallas on March 1, 1951, Willie spent his childhood in Dallas’s Little Mexico Village. He attended St. Ann’s Catholic School, Rusk Junior High, and Crozier Tech High School. He stayed devoted to St. Ann’s and Crozier Tech throughout his life as an active member of their alumni associations.

Family and faith always came first for Willie. A devout Catholic, he was deeply involved in the life of St. Monica Catholic Church and School. He was a loving husband to Laura and a devoted father to Abel, Alicia, and Ceasar. His grandchildren, Allison, David, Amanda, Matthew, and Emily, were his crown jewels, and he adored them.

Willie was a Master Plumber, a trade he learned from his father and family friends. He used his skills to help countless family members and friends in their time of need. Together with Laura, he built Aztec Plumbing from the ground up. As the company grew, he took great pride in mentoring others in the trade and guiding them as they grew. He celebrated every one who found success in their own ventures.

Willie worked tirelessly to provide for his family and care for those around him. His generosity and kindness were unmatched, and he made friends everywhere he went. He never sang his own praises or acknowledged his own accomplishments, though he achieved a great deal, both in his career and in his life.

He also gave generously of his time to the communities he loved, including Ursuline Academy of Dallas, Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas, and the Knights of Columbus.

Willie loved the Dallas Cowboys, Tejano music, his many relatives and friends, and ending a long day of work with an evening by the fire at the lake house. Most of all, he loved to laugh and be with the people he loved. He always had a great time wherever he went.

Willie was preceded in death by his mother, Stella Alcala; his father, Guillermo Alcala; his sister, Theresa Marquez; and his brother, Sammy Alcala.

He is survived by his loving wife, Laura Garza Alcala; his children, Abel Alcala and his wife, Karen Alcala; Alicia Alcala; and Ceasar Alcala and his wife, Heather Alcala; his sisters, Mary Ann Palacios and Grace Sifuentes; and his grandchildren, Allison Alcala, David Alcala-Frederick, Amanda Alcala, Matthew Alcala-Frederick, and Emily Cathey.
