Pedro Gonzalez Villacenor nació el 27 de enero de 1955 en Chahueto. Fue el tercero de trece hermanos. Creció en México, pero a los 17 años emigró a los Estados Unidos en busca de un mejor futuro. Le encantaba asar carne y disfrutar de buena comida, especialmente la comida mexicana.
Se celebrará una misa funeral a las 10:00 a. m. el sábado 9 de mayo de 2026 en la Iglesia Católica San José. La familia recibirá a los amigos de 12:00 p. m. a 3:00 p. m., después del servicio, en Ridge Funeral Home.
Antes que nada, Pedro fue la base de la familia.
Llegó a este país con nada más que determinación—sin idioma, sin raíces aquí, solo una visión de algo mejor para su familia. Desde muy joven, nos enseñó lo que significaba ser valiente, trabajar duro y nunca rendirse.
Lideró con amor, fortaleza y unión. Un esposo leal—junto a su esposa, quien estuvo a su lado desde el principio, acompañándolo en cada dificultad y cuidándolo incluso en los momentos más difíciles—y un padre orgulloso de cinco hijos, construyó una familia arraigada en valores que vivirán para siempre. Su amor se extendió profundamente en su papel como abuelo, donde su legado sigue creciendo.
Gracias por la vida que construiste y el amor que nos diste. Llevaremos tu legado en todo lo que hagamos. Te amamos—hoy, siempre y para siempre.
Pedro Gonzalez Villacenor was born on January 27, 1955, in Chahueto. He was the third of thirteen siblings. He was raised in Mexico, but at the age of 17 he emigrated to the United States in search of a better future. He loved grilling and enjoying good food, especially Mexican food.
A funeral mass will be conducted at 10:00 am on Saturday, May 9, 2026 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. The family will receive friends from 12:00 pm- 3:00 pm following the service at Ridge Funeral Home.
Before anything else, Pedro was family foundation.
He came to this country with nothing but determination—no language, no roots here, just a vision of something better for his family. From a young age, he showed us what it meant to be brave, to work hard, and to never give up.
He led with love, strength, and unity. A loyal husband—alongside his wife, who stood by him from the very beginning, supporting him through every hardship and caring for him even in the most difficult times—and a proud father to five children, he built a family rooted in values that will live on forever. His love extended deeply into his role as a grandfather, where his legacy continues to grow.
Thank you for the life you built and the love you gave. We will carry your legacy forward in everything we do. We love you—today, always, and forever.
