Jimmy G. Villegas was born on April 5, 1950. He was called home by our heavenly Father on February 22, 2013. On October 10, 1970 he married the love of his life Wilma Cervantes, and they spent the next 42 years building their lives together. Jimmy was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He was an altar boy at Cristo Rey Church, as a young father he taught Catechism classes at Sacred Heart Church and helped coach the football and girls' basketball teams at St. Ignatius Catholic Church; he tried to remain active until his health began to decline. He was a longtime Texas Longhorn fan who proudly raised his Hook Em Horns for every kick-off. He worked for IRS for 16 years but found his true calling at Leif Johnson Ford, where he retired after 18 years of service. He will always be remembered for his sense of humor, generosity and love that he shared freely with others.
