With profound sadness, we announce the unexpected and sudden passing of Leonel Gallegos, a loving husband, devoted father, and dear son, who left us too soon on October 12, 2025. Leo was the beloved husband of Sandra Gallegos. The proud father of Leonel Jr., Robert, and Leah, whom he adored more than anything.

For those who have asked how they can support the family during this difficult time, a GoFundMe has been created to help with funeral expenses and ongoing support for Sandra and the children.

Leo was known for his goofy and playful spirit and an unforgettable sense of humor that could either make you laugh until you cried—or just cry lol. His stubborn streak was matched only by the size of his heart, especially when it came to his children. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for them.

A lifelong sports enthusiast, Leo could often be found on the court playing basketball, on the field coaching Robert’s baseball team, or glued to the screen during a football game—no matter the occasion. He took his fantasy football league very seriously and loved the competition it brought each season.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by his loved ones.

“Loved beyond words, Missed beyond measure”
