Cris Gallegos

With a mischievous twinkle in his eye and a heart full of love, Cris Gallegos graced this world on November 5, 1951, at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, Cris spent his 74 years filling our lives with laughter and warmth from his home in Ogden, Utah. Retired from his role as a material handler at Kimberly Clark, Cris was best known as a funny, loving, compassionate, and thoughtful soul who thrived in the great outdoors. Whether he was casting a line while fishing, stalking game on a hunting trip, or simply sitting around the campfire with family, Cris found joy in every moment spent with his loved ones.

Cris had an undeniable gift for connecting with people, especially during his service in the Special Needs Mutual and Scouting. He treated every child there with the same love and care as his own, proving that his heart knew no bounds. Cris' family was the center of his universe, and his legacy is lovingly carried forward by his wife, Gwen Gallegos, his children Andrea (Tony) Schenk, Crispin (Missy) Gallegos, Ian (Mary) Gallegos, and Trent (Andrea) Fessler, along with his cherished grandchildren Maizie (Campbell) Redd, Dominic, Lily, Gabe, Olivia, Alex Gallegos, Kyler, Austin Schenk and great-grandsons Stefan, and Billie Redd. Though his parents, Savas Gallegos and Tommie Lower, and granddaughter Shaylyn Gallegos preceded him in death, Cris' memory will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of those he leaves behind.
