Valentine "Wally" Galaviz

Wally is survived by his children Miguel Galaviz and Lucas (Anne) Galaviz, his sisters Josephine (Margarito) Salazar, Angelita (Salvador) Lopez, and Juanita (Ron) Richmond, and his beloved grandsons, Isaac, Grady, and Magnus. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

Wally thought the world of his grandsons and spent every possible minute making sure they knew that. Wally loved golfing, U of M sports, the casino, supporting Lakewood Athletics, and camping. Wally had a passion for youth sports, not only cheering them on but also coaching them for many years.  He could always be seen with a smile on his face and ready to give a hug. 

Visitation will be held Sunday, April 7, 2019 at Koops Funeral Chapel from 2pm until 6pm.  A funeral celebrating Wally’s life will be held Monday, April 8, 2019 at 11 at Koops Funeral Chapel.  Burial will take place immediately following the funeral at Lakeside Cemetery.  In lieu of flowers donations to the Lakewood Athletics Athletic Association would be appreciated.   Online condolences can be left at www.koopsfc.com
