In loving memory of Enrique “Henry” Villela, 47, who was born on June 25, 1973 and chosen by our Heavenly Father to be one of his Angels on February 23, 2021.
Enrique was happily married to his best friend, Joanne C. Villela, who preceded him in death on February 8, 2021. They shared two fur-baby Beagles “Maximus and Bella”, who will miss them dearly.
Enrique was a very kind-hearted, joyful and compassionate person whose generosity was abundant and love was endless. He had a heart of gold and often helped others without hesitation and/or question. Enrique loved his family and friends deeply and was loved by so many because of his beautiful personality.
Enrique’s most beloved holiday was Halloween, which was also his and Joanne’s wedding anniversary. He enjoyed celebrating the holiday by decorating meticulously and celebrating with his wife and family. Enrique was a huge Disney fan, and his favorite movie was The Nightmare Before Christmas. He had a passion for music, photography and collecting memorabilia.
Enrique was preceded in death by his wife, Joanne C. Villela; and mother, Tomasa H. Villela.
Enrique is survived by his father, Apolinar Villela; brother, Josue Villela (Bobbi-Jo); brother, Ricky Villela; brother, Daniel Villela (Malisa); sister, Melissa Cubillo (Carlos) and 1 nephew and 4 nieces.
Enrique will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. Memories of him will live on and remain in our hearts…forever.

Thank you Villela family for sharing this beautiful man with our (Flores) family. He was a wonderful, supportive and caring husband to our Sister Joanne for which we will never stop being grateful for. Our family gatherings will never be the same without them both, but memories of Henry and my sister will still remain with us….Always. I’m sure their presence will be there with us in some way or another.
Henry (Brother),
Your fur-babies will be taken good care of and I will try to continue the traditions that you and my Sister started and added to our lives. I’ll hold you in my heart forever and will miss you and my sister tremendously.

The light you and my Tia brought into our lives have filled our hearts forever. I remember the happiness and love you guys gave one and other and we are grateful to have witnessed it ourselves. Through all my life’s trials, you never said an ill word, in fact, you and Tia always gave me hope and for that I am blessed with all of our memories.
Thank you for loving my children and most of all thank you for loving me as you have over these years.
In the great words of Dave Gahan
“ Angels with silver wings
Shouldn’t know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you
If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it’s your eyes He’s seeing through”
I am missing you so much right now. And I love you always

To my forever friend Enrique. Now that you begin your new journey and join your lovely wife and mother, I have these simple but heartfelt words for those you leave for now till we join you as well. I want to thank you for being an UNFORGETTABLE and TRUE FRIEND, “Un amigo UNICO!” You shared from your heart always, our friendship was forged with strong family bonds and amazing adventures that stay in my heart and allow me to cope with your departure. Your incredible sense of humor just allowed us to be more like brothers. You shared your struggles, your successes, your greats and not so greats. Through it all, even when I physically moved to follow my own dreams, our friendship stood firm, never to be questioned and never to sway. Mi queridisimo amigo, que en paz descanses y que Dios esté con tu familia para que a ellos les traiga consuelo. So much I wish to share since we have so much that filled our lives. But I leave you with my final thoughts because I know you can hear my cries of sadness filled with “Do you remember the time…”. I will miss our calls, our video chats, or walks down memory lane and above all that brotherly bear hug that nobody can match. Thank you amigo for the memories, the voyage and the adventures. My life was cooler, spicier and memorable because you were in it and made it an AMAZING RIDE. Be it in your Pontiac or my Oldsmobile, it was a ride that was made with beautiful experiences. As long as I am here to call out your name my dear friend and share the memories that we had, you will never be forgotten mi amigo. NEVER! Descansa en paz mi querido amigo que to amigo Edgar nunca te olvidara.

Villela Family,
My prayers are with you during this most difficult time. I am very blessed to have known Henry and that he was my brother and compadre. He was such wonderful person. Henry’s witty personality could light up a room and often made me smile. Above all, he was such a beautiful person, which made him easy to love.
Brother Henry,
Thank you for loving me and my family the way you did… showering us with unconditional love. You and Joanne cared for and treated my babies, Sarah and Joshua, as your own. I will forever be grateful to you and my sister, and I will miss you both immensely.
Dance with the angels brother and sister.
Michael Dunbar & Family
It’s so hard to accept that we’ve lost such a loving couple. Thankfully they will both live-on in each of us who were touched by their lives. Enrique has been a friend for so long it will take a while to believe he’s truly gone. Our prayers go out to the Villela and Flores Families during this difficult time.
Mark and Sandra Long

Josue Villela
One of the best brothers anyone could wish for. You were always such a loving person. You always showed compassion when needed and always let my family know how much you cared for them. You were a big part of my life. Me being the second oldest child we spent a lot of time together. The memories I have growing up with you I will always cherish. Some funny and some sad.
You always treated me like a big brother should. It hurts my heart dearly knowing I will not see or hear you anymore. I love you big brother. Rest in Peace.
