William Aurelio

Ochoa

William A. Ochoa, of Wichita Falls, Texas, passed away at Evergreen Care Center in Burkburnett, Texas on Saturday May 15, 2021 after a battle with cancer.

He was a beloved father, pop, grandfather, cousin, uncle, and friend.

Born in Santa Ana, California, on November 13, 1938, he was the son of Jesus Ochoa and Alice Gonzalles, who both preceded him in death.

After 20 years of service in the United States Air Force, William retired in 1977 at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas. He continued working at the base as a civil service employee. He was a true patriot. He loved his country, the military, family, and the great state of Texas.

He was a great friend to many and was willing to help anyone in need. Bill/Dino, as friends and relatives knew him, enjoyed spending time with his friends going out to breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as going to the exercise center with them.

His greatest joy was following his son and grandchildren and watching the many things they did in music and sports. He was always downloading videos of them from the Internet and making DVDs for his enjoyment at home.

William is survived by his son Ray Ochoa, his granddaughter Katie Ochoa, and his grandson James Ochoa. Along with cousins, nieces and nephews.

Per William's wishes, his body will be cremated at Falls Funeral Home in Wichita Falls, Texas. There will be no viewing, but he will be inurned at the Riverside National Cemetery with a small service to be announced at a later date.
