Arturo was born on May 25, 2002, in the vibrant town of Guerrero, Mexico, Arturo was a beacon of joy and kindness throughout his life. Having graduated from McAlester High School, Arturo carried with him not just the knowledge he had gained but the friendships and memories he had made. His education was a stepping stone into the world of construction, where he quickly became known for his strong work ethic and the selfless manner in which he approached every task. His colleagues respected him, not only for his skills but for the camaraderie and humor he brought to the worksite. Arturo's interests were as robust and down-to-earth as he was. An avid fisherman, he found peace and solace in the rhythm of the waves and the patience of the sport. The thrill of the hunt was another passion, as it allowed him to connect with nature and revel in the quiet moments of dawn. His truck, a loyal companion on many adventures, was a testament to his love for the open road and the freedom it represented. Those who knew Arturo will remember him for the laughter that seemed to follow him wherever he went. He was the kind of person who could find humor in the mundane and turn any situation into a moment of joy. His selflessness was evident in the way he lived his life, always putting others before himself and offering help without hesitation. Above all, Arturo was kind—a friend who listened, a son who cared, and a brother who loved. While he may have left us too soon, the impact he made on the lives of those who knew him will endure. His spirit, characterized by his funny anecdotes, selfless acts, and kind demeanor, will continue to inspire and influence all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Arturo is survived by his father and mother, Crescencio Villegas and Alicia Rodriguez, who nurtured his kind spirit and infectious humor; his siblings, Alexis, Jaquelin, and Alan Villegas, with whom he shared an unbreakable bond; his grandmother, Mariana Jaimes Serrano; along with numerous other family members and friends. Arturo's presence in their lives was a source of constant happiness and support, and his absence will be deeply felt. As the sun sets on Arturo Villegas Rodriguez's life, we are reminded of the beauty of a life well-lived, no matter how brief. He will be missed, but the memories he created will be treasured forever in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to cross paths with this remarkable young man. Arturo's story is not one of sorrow, but a celebration of a life that, although short, was filled to the brim with love, laughter, and kindness. Rest in peace, dear Arturo, until we meet again.
