Gallo was a loving son, father, uncle and a loyal friend to many. He loved every minute of being a father. When spending time together some of their favorite things to do were going to the movies, buying donuts first thing in the morning and having pizza parties. The memories they made will forever be cherished.
At the age of just 15 he found his passion for cutting hair and began practicing on his brothers and close friends. He has been a barber for 20 plus years and was well-known while employed at Texas Edge Barber Shop.
Gallo was the kind of person that whenever you were around him, you wanted more. He was such a unique person, with so much character, that no one can replace. He was good at “punking” his family and friends especially his sister, nieces and nephews. Gallo enjoyed working on cars with his father and brothers, and was a die-hard Houston Texans fan. He spent his mornings having breakfast with his mother and enjoyed watching novelas. He loved giving back to his community and active member at The Life Church in Baytown and former member of Acts Community Church.
