Victor Villarreal Way
A Devoted Father and Husband
Victor V. Way, 65, passed peacefully with his
wife and children by his side, early Sunday
morning of June 12th, at his home, after
a courageous battle with cancer.
Victor was born March 25, 1951, in Brownsville,
Texas, to Victor G. and Amelia V. Way. He was
a devoted son, father and above all, a loving
husband to his wife, St. Jane of 47 years
with whom they had 3 beautiful children.
He was a man of God and loved his family dearly.
In 1969, Victor graduated from Roy Miller H.S.
where he participated in numerous activities,
but most known for his mad athletic skills on
the court & field. He also acquired a natural skill
for playing the trombone with the RMHS Band. It
was then where his passion for music thrived for the
love of Tejano, oldies and Rock and Roll. Family
and friends always knew the way to his heart was
by good music and lots of dancing.
Through the years, he enlisted with the U.S. Army
to serve and fulfill his duty for his country, earning
him an Honorable Discharge in 1983. He continued
his leadership skills as he served as an active
role model in our community through his actions
with LULAC Council #1. He later assisted with
establishing LULAC Council #4444, with his primary
goal of encouraging our youth to continue their
education.
Victor is preceded in death by his parents, Victor G.
and Amelia V. Way and brother, John D. Way.
He leaves behind to cherish his memories, his
beloved wife, St. Jane, son Daniel J. Way
(Christina), daughters Melanie W. Salinas
and Crystal Rose Cavada (Ivan), and sister
Margarita Portales (Jesus). Six grandchildren: Laura,
Catalina, Isaiah, Eric, Daniel and John, along with
numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
Victor was retired from Hoechst Celanese and C.C.
Army Depot and was a "True Blue" Cowboys fan.
He was loving husband, father, brother, grandfather,
uncle, cousin and friend. We would like to thank the
nurses at Spohn Shoreline, oncologist, Dr. Ester
Pollard and Angel Bright Hospice/Nurses Kevin H.
and Rebecca K.
