Carlos Jaime Galvan, of Port Isabel, Texas departed in peace at the age of 94 on Monday, July 18, 2022. Carlos Jaime immigrated from Mexico to Texas as a teenager in the mid-1940s to work as a sailboat fisherman on the Laguna Madre Bay. He then joined what was a rampant shrimping industry. He was a rig man for 48 years. It was through his work that he met his beloved wife at the Port Isabel shrimp basin. They got married and had six children, three sons and three daughters. He was a simple man of few words, but with much wisdom. He loved to garden and raise chickens. He was recognized in the community by the unique way he wore his caps, with the visor flipped upwards. His favorite sports were baseball and boxing. At the seat of the living room, he experienced boxing matches as if he were in the ring himself, physically punching through the air and fighting a good fight. His favorite song was “Amar y Vivir” by Vicente Fernandez and he lived by the very concept of celebrating life with family and friends. For those who came to his house, he greeted them with an offering of a shot of tequila or brandy. He toasted, always celebrating a moment in time for life itself. He is preceded in death by Parents Santos Galvan, Sr. and Francisca Fuentes Galvan; two brothers, Santos Galvan, Jr. and Osvaldo Galvan; four sisters, Graciela Galvan Pena, Blanca Herlinda Galvan, Micaela Zamorano, and Lilia Quintero and daughter-in-law Nicole Galvan. Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife of 64 years, Paulita Galvan; three sons Carlos Jaime Galvan, Jr. (Burnie), Efrain Galvan (+Nicole), and Gaspar Galvan (Valentina); three daughters, Margarita Infante (Miguel), Francisca Saldivar (Alberto), and Noelia Santiago (Jaime); one Brother Jose Efrain Galvan, Sr and one Sister Concepcion Rodriguez; 16 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; several nephews; nieces; and other relatives.
