Abel Villareal Jr. 1971- 2010 Abel was born on October 20, 1971. After a courageous fight he lost his battle with Leukemia on September 23, 2010.

Abel will be forever remembered as a warm, humorous and compassionate person who always thought of others before himself. He was a musician who loved all kinds of music. Abel played the drums, guitar, flute, and other instruments. He was a member of the SCA. He loved horses and sword fighting and it was his dream and goal to become a Knight. It was his passion. Abel loved to cook, travel, explore and he loved history. His imagination was like no other and he loved to make home movies. Abel was a long time employee of ThunderCloud Subs on Riverside Drive. The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to all the family and friends for their support and prayers through this very difficult time.
