Nieves Galvan Jr.'s Obituary
It is with deep, and heavy sadness that we announce the death of Nieves Galvan Jr., who lost his fight to cancer on April 17, 2018, at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Nieves was born in Brownsville, Texas, on November 29, 1955, but spent most of his life in Houston, Texas.
He enjoyed carpentry and worked for Spring Branch I.S.D. for 28 years as a carpenter and later as a building inspector before retiring in 2007. He was an avid sports fan and spent any chance he could out on the golf course trying to stay under par.

He is also survived by his brothers: Greg Galvan, Benjamin Galvan (Laura), Richard Galvan, and Julio Galvan (Maryann), and sister Annie Galvan; his uncle Gilbert Botello; as well as his loving nieces, nephews, and other extended family and friends.
