Martin "Marty" Isidro Villarreal

Martin “Marty” Isidro Villarreal, 56 years old of Antioch, IL passed away Saturday, June 25, 2022. He was born November 23, 1965 to the late Isidro and Mary (Delao) Villarreal in Snyder, TX.

He was truly a “Man of Gold.” Great times followed him everywhere he went, whether it was on his boat or motorcycle and wherever he stopped on his rides. He was always the life of the party hence his nickname “Party Marty.” He was always ready with advice or a great story from his past. Was always a hard worker and would always preach “Hard work will never kill you.” He lived his life like we all wish we had the bravery to do, which was to do as he pleased and to do what made both himself and those around him the happiest. Whether it was taking people to sports games or playing pool for hours on end while hosting football Sunday. He always had kindness in his heart for everyone from every walk of life. He cared not who they were or what they did, only if they were respectful and willing to have a great time. He was a fierce protector to those he considered family and extremely generous as well. He went out of his way for anybody who needed him.
