As far as his nickname goes, according to Villalpando during an [[https://stapel.home.xs4all.nl/sinapu/intvgftf.htm|interview in 2000]]: "My real name is David. I got the nickname 'Burrito' from back when I was a kid. Being Hispanic I always took my mom's homemade burritos to school for lunch. All my friends called me 'the burrito kid,' then it dropped to just 'burrito' which has stuck with me all this time. So that is what most people know me by."

On January 18, 2022, Burrito suddenly passed away due to complications from COVID-19 and pnemonia.
