Alejandro "Alex" Galvan, Jr.

Edroy - Alejandro “Alex” Galvan, Jr., passed away on January 6, 2026 leaving behind a legacy of love, service and unwavering dedication to his family and community. He was 78.

Born on March 30, 1947 in Agua Nueva, Texas, Alex was the beloved son of Alejandro Sr. and Elida (Ramirez) Galvan. He made Edroy his home for more than 40 years and previously lived in Houston. For over two decades, he worked with Kinetic Systems Inc. in California, beginning as a plumber and later advancing into pipe detailing. He also honorably served his country in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam era.

Alex was known for his strong work ethic, compassion and dependability. A true perfectionist, he approached every task with care and pride. He had a generous heart and was always ready to lend a helping hand. His creativity shone through his leather crafting, and he enjoyed staying active—whether at the gym, on a walk, or simply keeping himself busy. Above all, Alex will be remembered as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great‑grandfather and friend whose presence brought warmth to every room.

He is preceded in death by three angel grandbabies; his parents, Alejandro Sr. and Elida Galvan; and his sister, Zora Castro.

Those left to cherish his memory include his wife, Kitty Galvan from Edroy, Texas; daughters, Mirabel Johnson (Jeff) from Corpus Christi, Texas and Adabel Galvan (Albert Trevino) from  Edroy, Texas; grandchildren, Myranda Kelley (Ross) from Orange Grove, Texas and Hayden Johnson (Christina) from Bluntzer, Texas; great‑grandchildren, Kinley Johnson, Keegan Kelley, Kailey Johnson and Kamryn Kelley. He is also survived by his brothers, Adan Galvan (Viola) from Chicago; Noel Galvan, Homero Galvan (Elma) and Hector Galvan (Tobie), all from Corpus Christi; Angel Galvan (Olga) from Dickinson, Texas; and Frank Gonzalez (Norma) from Donna, Texas; sisters, Delicia Juarez from Corpus Christi and Emma Navarro (Encarnacion) from Houston, Texas; brother‑in‑law, Milton Sangoluisa from California; along with numerous extended family members and friends who will miss him dearly.
