Eulalio -
Galvan Torres
Feb 12, 1947 — Mar 10, 2026
Madera
Eulalio "Layo" Torres Galvan nació el 12 de febrero de 1947 en Aratzipu, Guanajuato, México, hijo de Guadalupe Galvan y Trinidad Torres. Fue el tercero de siete hijos. A la edad de doce años, su familia se mudó a Guadalajara. Desde muy joven, Layo comenzó a trabajar para ayudar a su madre, un acto silencioso de amor que reflejaba al hombre dedicado y trabajador que siempre fue. Se abrió camino en California, donde en 1980 contrajo matrimonio con el amor de su vida, Dolores Rangel, en Glendale, California. Juntos se establecieron en Salinas en 1981, donde él trabajó en diversas cuadrillas de lechuga, y en 2007 se jubiló de Tanimura & Antle – Salad Time. En 2006, Layo y Dolores hicieron su hogar en Madera, California, donde vivió sus queridos años finales animando a sus amados Chivas de Guadalajara, cuidando su jardín y paseando a su fiel compañero, Peanut.
El 11 de marzo de 2026, Layo falleció pacíficamente en Madera Community Hospital, rodeado de la familia que adoraba, tras años de enfrentar con valentía una enfermedad pulmonaria. Le sobreviven su amada esposa Dolores; su hija Oliva y su yerno Hugo Bernal; su hijo Juan Erardo y su nuera Joanna Galvan; sus nietas atesoradas: Alexandria, Anabel y Amaris; su hermano José Isabel; y numerosos sobrinos y sobrinas que lo llevarán siempre en el corazón. Le precedieron en la muerte sus hermanos Luis, Catalina, Saúl, Fermín y Ana. La vida de Layo fue un testimonio de resiliencia, amor y la belleza que se encuentra en una vida sencilla y fiel. Será profundamente y eternamente extrañado.
