Arthur Gallegos Obituary

We have been out of state and just heard about Art. We are sorry to have missed his service.

We met Art in the early 80's when I worked in Colorado Springs. We have considered him a friend every since. We would try to meet at least once a year at Gordo's Restaurant in Denver to discuss politics, ranching and, most of all, his family. He was so proud of his family! We will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Anyone who has ever known Art is indeed, truly blessed. The ranch was the first place I ever rented and cherish the many memories I had there. He was a great landlord! Many years later, I bought the local tavern, where he'd come in as often as he could to say hello. I'll never forget the first time there when he told me how proud he was of me & my accomplishments - he made my heart full. As some of you know, he had a 'special' way of 'teaching'! He will be missed. God Bless You All & Continue making him proud!

We are very sorry about your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Young Art was my neighbor when I lived in Calhan. My sympathies, prayers and condolences to all of the Gallegos family.

I know heaven just got better. Art was a very kind and gentle man to his friends and a devoted husband and father. What a great man, we will miss him.

Our deepest sympathies to the Gallegos Family. Art will be missed.

Teddy I am sorry to read of your father's passing. My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family.

Dearest Yolanda and the Precious Family of Art Gallegos: My heart was saddened to hear of your loss. Please know that we are praying for you and asking our Heavenly Father to send His Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to minister to your hearts and souls during this difficult time. God is the healer of the broken-hearted and lifts every burden. May you experience His presence and mighty power to give you great strength and hope as you seek His face and feel His arms around you. May His love, mercy and grace be like wings underneath you carrying each of you through this time to a place of peace and rest. Our family sends our love and prayers to you always!

Dear Gallegos Family,
I met Art and Yolanda while I worked with the Colorado Board of Appraisers. He was a kind person that left an impression on my heart. I know that his family was the most important thing in his life - followed by his cattle. I will never forget when we held a conference call meeting during calfing. Art was delivering a calf during the meeting and didn't miss a beat with the Board! This is a great loss!
Sincerely, Cecilia Romero

From our family to yours, our deepest sympathy. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Dear Yolanda and Family,

We were saddened to hear of Art's passing. We had a wonderful time meeting and visiting with our Colorado relatives last summer. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

We were saddened to hear of your loss. He is at peace and in Gods hands. May he ease your burden with his loving touch. God be with you.

To the Precious Family of Art Gallegos: We are praying for you and know that Art has walked into the arms of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. The Bible says: Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Ps. 116:15 The Bible also says that God owns the cattle on a thousand hills, so be encouarged as Art is at home with Jesus and they may be sorting cattle. Press into God and put your head on His chest and let Him hold you through this time of grief and pain at your great loss. God will catch every tear because God loves you very much and so do we. Love and Prayers
Kenneth and Sandy Meeks

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I worked with and around Art for many years while with Colorado Dept of Labor and Employment. He was truly a man's man. He will be remembered by those who knew him as humorous, devoted, and loyal and a "straight shooter." Who will ever forget the summer Art offered his land out in what was then rural Falcon, Colorado so we could hold our annual picnic and circumvent local city open container laws. It was truly a day and evening all in attendance will hopefully always remember. He was truly a fun person to be around but could share his wisdom with you while not alienating you. Happy Trails my friend. We will meet again.

WE WERE SADDENED TO HEAR OF YOUR LOSS. THE LAST TIME I SPOKE WITH ART HE WAS TELLING ME HOW PROUD HE WAS OF HIS CHILDREN AND STORIES ABOUT THEM. WE WILL MISS HIM DEARLY.

My condolences to the Gallegos family,

I worked at Falcon Food Store and enjoyed Mr Gallegos being one of the regulars

To Yolanda and your family; Our deepest sympathy goes to you and the children and all their familys. Arthur, or Art, or Tuter, he was my best friend, and everybodys best friend. When you were with Art, you were having fun.

We are so sorry for your loss. May your memories bring you comfort. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Mark, Tonya, Travis & Kyle Gaddie
