Guillermo "Willie" Vasquez, 67, passed away Monday morning, February 24, 2020 at Houston Methodist hospital in the company of his six children and loving wife due to complications from triple bypass surgery. 

Willie was born in 1952 in San Benito,TX. He was raised by his Uncle Ruben, Aunt Isabella and Aunt Toni Moreno in Galveston, TX. He received a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Lamar University. 

Willie enjoyed fishing and spending time with his family. He loved good music and spoiling his grandkids. His generosity and support for his loved ones and friends was endless. He was a wonderful husband, father and grandpa. Willie was the patriarch of the Vasquez family and he made sure anyone who entered his home was accommodated, "whatever y'all want" he would always say.

The amount of love in his heart brought warmth to those around him. Willie was a strong influence on his children,  demonstrating to them the importance of fighting for what they love and believe in. Indeed, he fought hard until the very end. His laughter brought sunshine, joy and comfort to his family even in the darkest of times. Willie was proud of each of his children, wanting them all to know just how much he loved them. Willie will be greatly missed by those who knew him.
