OBITUARY
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Gaby Galvan, who peacefully left us on Friday, October 17, 2025, at the age of 57, after fighting a year-long battle with cancer.
Gaby won that fight and is now in God’s heavenly Kingdom where we all hope to join her. Gaby ‘s life, though challenged by physical limitations, was a testament to strength, resillience, and an unyielding spirit. While her wheelchair was a part of her, it never defined her. Gaby lived fully, creating a legacy of love, kindness, and creativity.
Gaby’s passion for arts and crafts brought joy not only to herself but to everyone she shared it with.
She loved everything Disney. She had all the Disney movies and collectibles of which you can think. Her dream was to one day visit Disney Land. Gaby also loved Barbie, Betty Boop, Hello Kitty and collecting miniature figurines.
She spent countless hours dressing up her American Girl dolls, a hobby that sparked her creativity and brought a sense of joy to her daily life.
Gaby’s love for life also extended to shopping trips with her brother, Luis “Chino” Navarro – two inseparable companions whose bond was known by all. Together they brought smiles and warmth wherever they went, and their deep connection was a heartwarming example of sibling love.
Her yorkie, J.Lo was always with her day and night.
A loving sister, aunt, and great aunt, Gaby was the cornerstone of her family. She played an instrumental role in raising her brother Luis, who has down syndrome, and was a devoted caregiver and guiding presence in his life.
Gaby was also an ever-present figure for her nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews, whom she was always willing to take care of, offering boundless affection and an open heart.
Her home was a sanctuary of love and support, and she never once turned down a request for help, no matter how big or small. Her kindness knew no limits.
Gaby’s legacy is one of love, creativity and compassion. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her, especially her family.
She will be dearly missed by her family and all those fortunate enough to call her a friend.
She is preceded in death by her father, Jesus Alfonso Galvan Guillen and her mother, Felicitas Quintero Flores.
She is survived by sisters and brothers, Adriana Galvan Ponce, Rocio Galvan, Miguel Galvan, Luis “Chino” Navarro; her nieces, and nephews, Lizbeth Galvan Cepeda, Julie Mares, Araceli Mares, Cristian Mares, Luis Mares, Alexis Gonzales, Anthony Rey Gonzales, Angel Zaragoza, Alyze Gonzales, Pablo Castillo; and numerous great nieces and great nephews. And her precious companion, J.Lo.
