Juan Jose Galvan, Sr., 86, affectionately known to his family as "Tatis” entered heavenly peace on November 28, 2022. Tatis was a member of the Catholic Church and a lifelong resident of El Paso. He enjoyed the simple comforts of life such a warm gentle breeze on a cool winter morning against his cheek along with the walks inside a local panaderia, where he would choose his favorite piece of pan dulce to enjoy with his morning coffee. Tatis’ greatest joy was the noise and love that filled the home when his children and grandchildren all gathered.
Juan is preceded in death by his parents and all his siblings. He leaves behind his bride of 64 years to cherish his memory, Moraima Galvan, as well as his 8 children, Juanita Brackeen (Richmond), Andrea Garibay (Manny), Virginia Galvan, Benny Galvan (Laura), Ceci Alarcon (Hector), Juan Jose Galvan, Jr. (Sandra), Samuel Galvan and Moraima Cervantes (Daniel). Also survived by 18 Grandchildren and 17 Great Grandchildren and a host of extended family.
