Luis Marcello Villalba, 48 years old of Dale City Virginia, went to be with our Lord and Savior on March 17th, 2021 after a courageous battle from damage of Covid 19. Luis’ story was not his death but how he lived to shine the love of Christ on ALL he encountered and never missed an opportunity to spread the love of God to all he came across. He lived a joyful life, and no one was a stranger to Luis. He was constantly ministering and worked closely with the youth in church. Luis was born in La Paz, Bolivia on June 28th, 1972. He loved playing and watching soccer and was gifted at designing flowers and loved drawing. He was selfless and always willing to help others. He was a loving friend, husband, and father. Luis was employed at Federal Express in Fredericksburg Virginia. He leaves behind his dear wife Madeleine of Woodbridge VA and son Michael 27 and Nicole 22 of Woodbridge and his loving dog, Hulk. He is also survived by his Mother, Maria of Winchester VA, Mother-in-Law, Charo and sister-in-Law Mayra of Woodbridge. Also surviving is his sister Claudia of Winchester and sister Gabriela of Virginia Beach. Many Nieces and Nephews. Luis was preceded in death by his father Jose, exactly one month earlier due to Covid. Jose led a very similar caring, giving and Christ-like life. The two of them are surely celebrating together in heaven.

Insidenova.com: A bipartisan coalition of Virginia lawmakers on Tuesday presented a series of bills aimed at addressing the rapid expansion of data centers, which have become a cornerstone of the state’s economy but have raised concerns about energy use, environmental impact, and equitable cost distribution.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin highlighted the industry’s importance during his State of the Commonwealth address Monday, noting that “data centers alone support 74,000 jobs, bring in $9.1 billion in Virginia GDP, and generate billions in local revenue.” He called for Virginia to remain “the data center capital of the world” while ensuring state support for the industry.
However, lawmakers from both parties have emphasized the need for oversight to ensure the industry’s growth is managed responsibly.
The Center Square: Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin delivered the final State of the Commonwealth address of his term Monday after a delayed start to the 2025 General Assembly session, urging the state legislature to “keep Virginia winning” with bills it passes this year.
The governor began his speech by recounting how his administration and the General Assembly have delivered on priorities and policies that have made Virginia stronger.
“In our three years together, we have built strong pillars that support a winning Virginia,” Youngkin said, listing record funding in education and learning loss recovery efforts, $5 billion in tax relief, streamlining “50,000 regulations” as some of their chief accomplishments.
