Villareal

A memorial service for Gilbert Omar Villareal will be scheduled at a later date. Omar was born in Houston on Dec. 7, 1946 to Gilbert and Mary Villareal. He passed away on Aug. 23, 2022 in La Grange.

Omar was drafted into the Army during the Vietnam War and stationed in Germany. He was a member of several veterans organizations and was extremely proud of his military service. One of his favorite annual events was the Veterans Day program at his grandsons’ elementary school. Omar worked for Dresser Industries and later KBR in records management, retiring after thirty years whereupon he left Houston and moved to Fayette county. Omar was an avid hunter and fisherman and passed along his love of nature and the outdoors to his daughter and grandsons. He loved barbecue, iced tea, and his adopted hometown of La Grange. He will be sorely missed by all of those who knew and loved him. He is preceded in death by his parents, Gilbert and Mary and brother, David. He is survived by his daughter, Julie Lobley and her husband Graeme of Missouri City; grandsons, Michael Villareal, Euan Lobley and Benjamin Lobley. The family requests that memorial donations be made to the Coastal Conservation Association of Texas (6919 Portwest Dr Ste 100, Houston, TX 77024 CCATexas.org).
