David R Villarreal, a beloved resident of Corpus Christi, Texas, passed away on June 22, 2024 at MD Anderson - Houston, at the age of 64. He was born on February 9, 1960, in his hometown of Corpus Christi, where he lived his entire life.

David had a zest for life and enjoyed various hobbies, including playing poker, darts, and pool. He had a deep appreciation for music from the 60s and 70s, Grupo Mazz and Little Joe and La Familia being among his favorite bands and musical artists. David also had a keen interest in positive affirmations, amethyst crystals, scripture, and astronomy.

However, David's true passion lied in helping others. As a car salesman for over 35 years, he dedicated himself to ensuring his customers' satisfaction and went above and beyond to assist them in finding their desired vehicles. He worked at dealerships such as Love Chrysler and Ed Hicks Nissan, forming lasting friendships along the way.

David cherished his role as a loving father to his sons: Gabriel Villarreal, Randel Villarreal, Adrian Ayala, and Anthony Ayala. He was also a doting grandfather to Rachel Cecilia Villarreal, Ezra Diego Villarreal, and Zoe Ayala.

David's spirituality played a crucial role in his life. He believed that incorporating God into daily life was essential and often sought solace through meditation, reciting affirmations, and praying for those he knew. One of his favorite quotes, "What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create," by Buddha, reflected his optimistic outlook.

As a lover of travel, David wanted to visit the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes in Southern France. When not working or spending time with his family, he could be found shooting pool, playing poker, or darts. His dedication to perfection shone through in all aspects of his life.
