Melecio Perez Villa passed away peacefully at home on May 27, 2022, surrounded by the love of his family.  He was 88 years old and was born in Michoacan, Mexico on August 5, 1933. Melecio was a loving father, brother, uncle, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend. He was known as a hardworking master of cement finishing to all his colleagues.

His greatest passions were his family, his home and working on his beautiful yard.  There wasn't a day that went by that he was not working on it whether it was cutting the grass on his riding lawn mower, cutting the trees or tending to his beautiful plants. He took great pride in his gardening and the hard work he put into it.  Melecio's greatest joy was his family. He always made sure to be there for his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. He was known by many people as a father figure because he ultimately had that effect on several family relatives and friends as well.  He believed if you worked hard, you could achieve anything, and he led by example.

He was a man who lived every day with a grateful heart and never took anything for granted.  He will be missed dearly.Melecio is preceded in death by his loving wife of 46 years, Hortencia Ruiz Villa, parents Jesus Eusebio Villa and Efigenia Perez, siblings Ofelia, Imelda, Lucio, Yrais, Maria and Eugenio.
