Antonio Francisco Legarreta

On Friday, December 4, 2015 Antonio Francisco Legarreta, 22 years old, went to be with the Lord. He was born to Martha Banegas Legarreta and Richard Legarreta on April 24, 1993. Antonio was blessed to have four sisters Angelina Olivera (Tony), Christine Gamboa (Edward), Bonnie Rivera (deceased) (Dario), and Debbie Legarreta. He also had four brothers, Richard Legarreta Jr., Angelo Legarreta (deceased), Alanzo Legarreta (Jasmine), and Arlando Legarreta. Antonio was an inspiration to so many. His challenges were many due to his illness, Muscular Dystrophy. He faced each one with the faith he put in God. We praise the Lord he suffers no more. Antonio had great faith and confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ. Antonio was extremely fond of his nephews and nieces; Zade Angelo, Avery, Ezekiel Legarreta, Jaiden Carrion, Ryu, and Michael Olivera, and Mia Legarreta. Uncle ‘Tono' as they lovingly called him would listen with love and concern to their stories. He would play video games and watch movies with them. He loved to buy them presents.
