Rosalio "Chalio" Gallegos

Rosalio “Chalio” Gallegos, 83, of San Antonio, Texas, passed away peacefully on April 30, 2026. Born on October 10, 1942, and the cherished son of Juan and Trinidad Gallegos, he lived a life defined by love, resilience, humor, and devotion to his family.

Chalio was a natural jokester with a generous heart — always ready with a smile, a laugh, or a helping hand. His warmth and steady presence touched everyone who knew him.

He is survived by his beloved spouse, Maria E. Gallegos, and his siblings Frances Mussmann, Arturo Gallegos, and Norma Gallegoz.

He was a devoted father to his children: Rosalio “Chalio” Gallegos Jr. (Sandra), Melissa Rios, Yvonne Talamantez (Reuben), Isaac Gallegos (Erica), Joel Gallegos (Amparo), and Lisa Gallegos. He was also a loving step-father to Robert Garcia (Tes). He leaves behind twenty grandchildren and twenty-three great-grandchildren, all of whom brought him immense joy and filled his days with laughter, love and cherished memories.

Viewing will be held on May 26, 2026, at 10:30 AM at Sunset Memorial Park & Funeral Home. Funeral services will begin at 12:30 PM, followed by burial at 2:00 PM at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery.
