Galvin was born on April 14, 1948 to David and Rupe Torrez in Seboyeta, NM.
Early in life, our father learned the importance of hard work and he instilled that same work ethic in us. He was always there for us. He taught us the importance of family, hard work and doing what is right.
Our daddy was a true role model who we will always look up to.
Galvin is survived by his wife of 55 years: Marcy; his son: Terry and wife Ericka; his daughter: Tracy and husband Geoff; his four grandchildren: Teryn, Isaiah, Alaina and Samantha; step grandchildren: AJ, Aysia, Loren, Marcus, Tristan, also Amber Nichole who preceded him in death; his sister: Linda, her husband Dory and his sister Lupe; Sisters-in-law: Lupe, husband Harry, Lucille, husband Macario; Brothers-in-law: Prudencio, Bernie, wife Charlene and Toby, wife Beatrice and many nephews, nieces, other relatives, and friends.
Galvin worked for Continental Divide Electric Co-Op for 30 years. Galvin’s passions in life were his wife, children, and grandchildren. He loved fishing. Growing up he loved horseback riding and enjoyed teaching his children and would give anyone who wanted a ride on his beloved horse, Quint. In his later years, one of his greatest pleasures was riding in his side-by-side to visit his prima Eufelia and his friend Venencio with his beloved “Kobe” by his side. Galvin didn’t like traveling very much but he made an exception to go watch his beloved Dallas Cowboys a couple of times back in the day and had quite an adventure getting a ride back to the car after the game all on his own. IYKYK!
