Joe Galvan Obituary

Joe Adrian Galvan LUBBOCK-Adrian Galvan passed away Wednesday, April 8, 2015. We will gather for fellowship and remembrance from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, April 12, 2015, at Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers. Family and friends will gather to celebrate his life of 38 years on Monday, April 13, 2015, at 10 a.m. at Alliance Baptist Church. A tribute of Adrian's life may be found at www.memorialdesigners.net, where you may leave memories and expressions of sympathy for his family. Adrian was born on July 22, 1976, to Joe and Yolanda (Contreras) Galvan in Brownfield. He graduated from Lovington High School and Texas Tech University. He married the love of life, Deanna Mojica, on Sept. 15, 2001, in Lubbock. Adrian was a man of great faith and love for his heavenly father. He so loved the camaraderie among his fraternity brothers of Omega Delta Phi, his second family at Star Care for 12 years, and all the players and coaches of Little League baseball that he was honored to coach. Most of all, he loved his family and children. Adrian, also known to many as Dre, had so much love for everyone. He will never be forgotten. Those left to cherish Adrian's memories include his wife, Deanna Galvan; a son, Alejandro Galvan; a daughter, Daniela Galvan; his parents, Joe and Yolanda Galvan of Lovington, NM; a brother, Richard (Becky) Contreras of Brownfield; maternal grandfather, John Contreras of Brownfield; paternal grandmother, Esther Galvan of Hobbs, NM; and father and mother-in-law, Joe (Francine) Mojica of Cotton Center.

I remember hearing about his passing when I was in elementary school. He would visit me at school back then and he helped me so much. I wish I could tell him I found motivation to live and am now in college.

My neighbor in Lovington NM as kids. The day you taught me to chew with my mouth closed and how you beat me at basketball over and over. I don't understand this phase of life called death. I know your in heaven no doubt your a true example of a witness you preached, lived, and shared the word. I admire you and really hope that of all the things you taught me I learn how to be a faithful man to our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray for your wife kids mom dad and all your loved ones.
