Ambrocio was known for his loving and caring heart, and good sense of humor. He was the type of man that would take his shirt off his back to help anyone in need, and would step in and take charge when others couldn’t. He wore many hats throughout his lifetime, too many to mention, but you could say he was a jack of all trades. He was employed with Valero Energy for 40+ years until he retired in 2010.

Visitation will be held on Sunday, March 12, beginning at 1 PM to 9 PM, with rosary beginning at 7 p.m. at Heavenly Grace Memorial Park Chapel in La Feria, Texas. Funeral Mass will be on Monday, March 13, at 10 AM at Saint Helen’s Catholic Church in Rio Hondo, Texas and interment will follow at Heavenly Grace Memorial Park in La Feria, Texas.

Honored to serve as pallbearers are Ambrocio Galvez, III, Steven Salceda, Jesse Salceda, Eric Salceda, Jaime Martinez, and honorary pallbearers Ambrocio Galvez, Jr., Tony Galvez, and Jonathon Segura.
