Mario Gallegos

Graciela Kavulla, retired Principal; In the mid 90's as Principal of a middle school in Pasadena, Mr. Gallegos graciously & generously came to Jackson Intermediate to speak to our mostly Hispanic inner city students. He was full of inspiration, kindness, & understanding of the students diffiicult situations. It has been my impression as I followed his career he was not looking for headlines, or accalodes. He simply cared deeply about his people. It is my deep belief he is in heaven...

Senador Mario Gallegos
Descanse en paz
Agradezco a Dios el previlegio de haber conocido a un ser humano ejemplar.

My Condolences to the family. Thank heaven for people like Mr. gallegos. My thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of such a great person.

Sen. Mario Gallegos, he will be miss by all in Texas, and also his famila in Galveston, and also here in Calif. God Bless you,And may the Angels guide you into the Lords kingdom.

Saul Gallegos de Galveston, but now in Calif.

All Texans will mourn the loss of a true friend of the children who attend public schools of Texas. Mario was a brave firefighter who, after retirement, fought the enemies of public education with he same type of valor he fought fires with.

Rest in Peace my hero, my friend and my role model.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Gallegos family. He will live on in your hearts and cherish the memories that you have.

I had the pleasure of working for Senator Mario Gallegos during the 2007 Legislative Session. It was that year that he was given his liver transplant. Throughout the time that I worked for him he showed so much strength and perseverance-coming into the capital to stand up for what he believed in regardless of the risks to his health. Even when I left his office to work at City Council he continued to mentor me throughout my political career. I will always admire him and respect him for all...
