Cipriano E. Villanueva, was born on August 4, 1932, in Fresno, California, and passed away peacefully on March 23, 2026, in Clovis, California, at the age of 93.

Cipriano was predeceased by his wife, Alice B. Villanueva, his Father and Mother, five sisters and two brothers.  He leaves behind his two daughters, Julie and Alice and many nieces and nephews, with a special goodbye to his nephew, Carson.

Cipriano lived a long and meaningful life rooted in the Central Valley, where he was born, raised, and remained throughout the years. He was a proud member of the Operating Engineers Union 3, dedicating much of his working life to his craft and community.

In his free time, Cipriano found great joy in watching sports of all kinds. Whether it was football, baseball, golf, car races or any game on television, he was always a devoted fan. He also enjoyed spending time at the local casino, where he liked to play slot machines and try his luck at the roulette table.

Above all, Cipriano will be remembered for his steady presence, his appreciation for life's simple pleasures, and the love he had for his family.

Cipriano's life was a testament to hard work, loyalty, and quiet enjoyment of the moments that mattered most. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

He will be greatly missed by his family, friends and loyal neighbors.

And a grateful thank you to Oyuna Hospice and Caremax Senior support for their wonderful care and compassion.

And a special thank you to Rose, his friend and companion for the past eight years.
