Luis Gallo Obituary

We deeply mourn the loss of Luis Antonio Gallo age 87 of San Antonio, Texas. He entered into eternal life on Sunday, January 12, 2025. He passed peacefully at home, surrounded by his devoted wife of 60 years, his children and extended family. He was born April 17, 1937 in San Antonio to Luciano and Alicia (Cerda) Gallo who preceded him in death.
Our father was a very special person to many and will forever be remembered by his family and throughout the community. He truly loved life and lived everyday as if it was his last. He was a wonderful father, husband, grandfather and great grandfather. He touched many lives with his compassion, kindness and generosity.
Our father served his community in various capacities but he was most proud of his service to our country. He served in the United States Army from 1955 to 1961 concurrently attending Lanier High School and graduating in 1958. He received an honorable discharge only to return at the age of 40 and serve an additional 18 years. In all, he served our nation for over 25 years.
Our father will proudly be laid to rest at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery and receive Full Military Honors.
