Raul Villanueva
Raul Villanueva, 43, of Richland, passed at home on March 20, 2015. He was born in Sunnyside, WA on April 9, 1971. Raul grew up in Granger where his great-grandmother Francisca and grandfather Reyes Villanueva raised him.
Raul was so excited for the birth of his children, walking them to school for their first day of Kindergarten, and watching them catch their first fish.
He earned his GED with his own hard work and continued his education and completing his AA. Raul also enjoyed ministering to the “At Risk Youth” through Word of Faith in Kennewick.
He is survived by wife, Rosa Moreno; daughter, Maribel; son, Eduardo; brother, Mario; sisters, Sara Elisa and Francisca. He was also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and many wonderful friends he calls “Brother/Sister from another mother.”
Raul was preceded in death by his mother, Estela Sanchez; Grandfather, Reyes Villanueva, and his baby boy Bryan Villanueva.
Visitation will be held this Thursday, March 26, 2015 from 4:00pm-7:00pm with a blessing at 5:30pm at Einan’s at Sunset, 915 Bypass Hwy, Richland, WA.
Our hearts are sadden to hear of the loss for our dear cousin Raul. The memories of all of us spending time on my Dad’s farm as kids catching frogs in the creek or playing at Grandma’s house in Granger will forever be in all our hearts.
Will miss his phone calls to me just to catch up. I also know my mom was heart broken to learn of Raul’s passing. However, we know that Raul is now with the Lord resting peacefully in Heaven.
Miss you Primo que Dios los Bendiga
You will be missed. I love you. May you rest in peace with our loved ones. You were a great big brother.
Primo, may the Lord grant you this message in heaven…
I knew you when you were young and rowdy and saw how you improved your life. You fought the battles of body and mind and spirit and made it a long way from that person from the past. May you forever rejoice in the presence of our Lord as you enjoy freedom from all sickness, worry or sorrow. And may your family forever hold sweet and fond memories of you in their hearts. The Lord grant them much comfort now and always.
I will miss you on this earth. You were very dear to me, and I am SO proud of the man you had become. My heart goes out to Rosa and the kids who must now navigate this life with you watching over them from the other side. I will do my best to be there for them on your behalf. I will cherish the memory of your voice calling me Momma and never forgetting to tell me how much you love me. I will miss that. I look forward to seeing you on the other side.
My prayers go out to Rosa and the kids. So sorry for your loss. I am just across the street if you need anything. Please let me know.
