My beloved father Antonio was born on September 8, 1950 in El Campo, Texas.  On October 12, 1973, he married the love of his life, Mary Castillo Camargo, in Sweetwater, Texas.  A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Antonio's greatest joy in life was his family.  He leaves behind a legacy of commitment, faith, and loyalty.  His proudest role was being a loving "Papa" to his five grandchildren, who brought him endless happiness.

Antonio had a strong work ethic and took great pride in his career.  He worked at USG from 1973 until his retirement in 2009.  In addition to his career at USG, he was a passionate entrepreneur, founding T&M Imports in 1996.  He dedicated himself to growing his small business, which he successfully operated until he sold it in 2021.  Antonio is survived by his beloved wife, Mary Villegas of Roscoe, Texas; his children, Tony Espinoza and wife Kayla of Celeste, Texas, Patricia DuBose and husband Charles of Rowlett, Texas, Cynthia Mathew and husband Shelby of Pearland, Texas. Antonio cherished his time with grandchildren Jacob DuBose, Joshua DuBose, Mia Espinoza, Luke Mathew, and Madison Mathew, and he adored his great-granddaughter, Ayla DuBose.

He is also survived by his siblings Santiago Villegas, Maggie Robles, Helen Garcia, Lillie Sustaita, and Frankie Villegas.  Serving as Pallbearers will be Charles DuBose, Jacob DuBose, Joshua DuBose, Shelby Mathew, Luke Mathew, Tony Garcia, Tony Espinoza, and Robert Ortega.

Antonio's unwavering love and dedication to his family will live on in the hearts of those who were blessed to know him.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Mathew 11:28-30
