He was born on November 27, 1945 in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas and was the last surviving child to Maria and  Regino Villarreal.

Roberto and his beloved wife Lydia shared a love like no other for 49 years. He recalled seeing Lydia while riding on his motorcycle and knew he wanted to marry her.

Roberto maintained facilities at Bexar County Hospital and proudly retired after 35 years. He didn't quite find himself at home afterwards so he took employment at SeaWorld. He was a hard-working man who instilled great values in his 4 children.

In 1986, after good morals and hard work he proudly and officially gained his Naturalized Citizenship.

He really enjoyed listening to Tejano music and adored listening to it all the time especially when the family got together. He loved to keep family and friends updated with the weather. His special way to say, "I love you, Be careful". He was a wonderful man of great jokes and funny stories, he would share with even strangers he had just met. He loved to talk to everyone and anyone. He truly will be missed by all that he touched with his beautiful soul.
