Obituary

Federico "Don Fede" "Chepin" Gallardo, de 86 años, de Hereford, Texas, falleció el lunes 1 de septiembre de 2025 en Amarillo, Texas. La Misa de Entierro Cristiano se llevará a cabo el sábado 6 de septiembre de 2025 a las 10:00 a.m. en la Iglesia Católica de San José con el Celebrante Monseñor Arturo Meza oficiando.

El velorio será el viernes 5 de septiembre de 2025, de 4:00 a 8:00 p. m. con rosario a las 6:00 p. m. en la funeraria.

Federico nació en Zacatecas, México, el 26 de octubre de 1938, hijo de J. Cruz y María (Román) Gallardo. Ha sido residente de Hereford durante 33 años. Federico conoció y se casó con el amor de su vida, María Eloína Lomas, el 5 de agosto de 1963 en México. Juntos construyeron una hermosa vida y tuvieron seis hijos maravillosos. Trabajó durante más de 20 años en Hi-Pro Feeds y se jubiló a la edad de 60 años. A Federico le gustaba escuchar música, visitar a familiares y amigos, cantar, comer tunas, siempre bromeando y molestando a su familia para hacerles pasar un mal rato y tocando la bocina para apurar a su familia. Federico siempre quiso volver a su casa en México para visitar y plantar en su tierra. Era miembro de la Iglesia Católica de San José. La presencia, la risa y la personalidad divertida y bromista de Federico serán extrañadas por todos los que lo aman.

Los que quedan para apreciar y atesorar sus recuerdos son sus hijos, Hortencia Fraire y su esposo Josafath Alvarado Vilchis de Houston, Texas, Raúl Gallardo y su esposa Alejandrina Soto de Hereford, Texas, Oralia Gallardo de Canadian, Texas, María Sandra Gallardo y su esposo Efraín Frayre de Hereford, Texas, y Rosa María Gallardo y su esposo Sergio DeLeon de Hereford.  Texas; 18 nietos y 11 bisnietos; tres hermanas, Esperanza Gallardo y su esposo Everardo Espino de Chi., México, María Del Sorcorro Gallardo y su esposo Graciano Archan de México, y María Del Rosario Gallardo de Wheeler, Texas; dos hermanos, Darío Gallardo y su esposa Mary Ellena Núñez de Wheeler, Texas, y José Inez Gallardo de Corsicana, Texas.

A Federico le preceden en la muerte sus padres, su esposa, María Eloína Lomas Gallardo, su hija, Blanca Lilia Gallardo Lomas, cuatro hermanos, José Cruz, Benjamín, Guillermo y Francisco Gallardo, dos hermanas, Rosa y Rosalía Gallardo: dos yernos, Martín Alonso Fraire y Héctor Felipe Acosta.
