R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, All who shared in the life of Homero Roel Villarreal
Jr. of Robstown were deeply saddened by his death on September 22,
2020, at the age of 33; and
WHEREAS, The only child of Homero Roel Villarreal Sr. and
Matilde Amezquita Villarreal, Homer Villarreal was born in Corpus
Christi on January 15, 1987; he traveled frequently throughout
South Texas with his parents as they worked in behalf of civil
rights and managed a newspaper, and along the way, he learned about
sales, graphic arts, and sociopolitical and economic systems; after
graduating from Robstown High School, he attended Del Mar College;
when applying for a clerical job with a home health business, he
walked into the wrong interview room and landed himself a position
as its marketing coordinator instead; and
WHEREAS, Eventually, Mr. Villarreal founded his own
marketing and multimedia company, IXPOSE; his charming, outgoing
personality served him well in responsibilities that ranged from
promoting wrestling to squiring a Chinese business delegation
around town; in addition, he served as a marketing representative
for actor Pepe Serna, sponsored events for actor Edward James
Olmos, and edited an independent film, Anastasia; he was especially
proud of his anti-bullying film produced for the Robstown
Independent School District, titled ENOUGH; in his last years, as
he battled a terminal illness, he found strength and solace in his
faith and defied his doctor's predictions many times; he managed to
continue part-time employment in marketing for two dental offices
and even set new sales and client recruitment records; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Villarreal and Selina Benavidez were blessed
with two sons, Homer and Nicolas; he later enjoyed a fulfilling
relationship with Monica Duran, and they became the parents of two
children, Roel and Felix; and
WHEREAS, Although Homer Villarreal is deeply missed by those
he left behind, they will forever treasure their memories of his
unfailing good humor and his warm and thoughtful ways; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Homer Villarreal
Jr. and extend sincere sympathy to his loved ones; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Homer
Villarreal.
