It’s April 27, 2021 and I still wonder about Villatoro. Idk why. He was cool. He was always kind to me and never made me feel insecure. We had our own handshake at work that we’d go out of our way to do and I only knew him a little over a year. The night the dodgers won the World Series is a night I’ll never forget. It’s rare to find people who don’t make you feel less of yourself even in the slightest bit, but Villatoro was one of those dudes to me. If I worked his side outside, 100% of the time I know he’d come by and we’d laugh at any little thing. I remember him sneaking up on me and I never even heard him coming up on me. Idk why someone whom I barely knew and only through my job impacted me like this. I think it’s because I can truly say without a shred of dishonesty, that he was always a kind person to me. 

Impacted by these news ive always talked to jose when i used to work at the venetian he was always funny my condolences to the family and may God have him in rest 

When I came to the swing shift Jose treated me like family. I never called him by his name I called him my buddy. Every time we saw each other we would discuss how we could make things at work better. Then we would look at each other & say to much like right & burst out laughing. I'm going to truly miss you MY BUDDY! Sending prayers & comfort to the family 

My heart and deepest condolences are with all of you. Rest in heavenly peace Felipito 🙏

Jose always had jokes.!
I called him Boy Scout at work because he always carried his water backpack with him & wore his bike shorts. 
When I was new at work he showed me how to do the water run for the property on our security car. That day he kept making me laugh and made me nervous on a turn so it looked like I didn’t know what I was doing. 
He forever told everyone I didn’t know how to drive and I had hit the wall. 
Hahahah his stories were so credible no one ever believed me thats not how it happened. 
He’s very much missed !! Nothing but laughs with the guy. 


I remember when he first came to the Venetian, his calm attitude made me know he’d be perfect for the position. Jose knew when something  was wrong. He talked to me for  3 hours one night calming me down.  That’s the man I’ll miss the calming man, talking me off the bridge so to speak. 

Just wanted to say a few things as a friend and bike officer partner at work. Jose you will be truly missed by your peers, friends and family. Always friendly and like to talk smack joking of course...There are many memories I can say but one of them is when you told me you were a 9ers fan and wanted to be a bike patrol officer and wanted to know what it takes. Its so hard to come to the bat cave knowing your bike and gear will no longer go out as my shift ends to pass on info. Rest In Paradise my friend. My condolences and prayers to your family.

I don't even know how to start. My boyfriend and I we have great memories with him, my boyfriend was  close friend of Jose at work. He was funny, always try to make the best of every day.  We have work together for a very long time.   Briefing will never be the same without him. And also  want his family to received our condolences , like I said he will be miss. Here is one of lots of memories we have  of him. 

You were always kind and a pleasure to work with. I don't remember ever seeing you without a smile and that is how I will continue to remember you. I'm sorry that this has happened to you. I pray you are now at peace. God bless you and prayers for your family that are now missing your presence.

I worked the day shift, and he relieved me many times. Jose was the sweetest guy , I knew would show up on time, and a sincere person. I was so sadden to hear of his passing. God Bless Him and Your whole family. I am so sorry for your loss.
