Gallegos and his wife ran a business hanging Christmas lights and also washed windows professionally, WFAA reported.
“He was just an all-around great person,” Gallegos’ wife, Alisha Flick, told the television station. “He always had a smile on his face, and he was always goofy and he was always making everybody laugh.”

Flick told WFAA she was working with her son in the front yard of a home while Gallegos worked in the backyard.
“And then we heard something, and I got out and I went over there, and he was laying on the concrete,” Flick told the television station. “He was saying, ‘Help me, help me,' and so I called 911.”
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help with funeral expenses, and more than $40,000 has been raised.
