Agustin Gallegos Velazquez, age 57, died Saturday, September 21, 2024, at the University Hospital in Denver, Colorado.
He was born on August 23, 1967, to Amador Gallegos Garcia and Cirila Velazquez in Tierra Blanca, Guanajuato, Mexico.
Agustin was united in marriage to Maria Garcia on April 14, 1986, in Mexico. He was a devoted father to three sons, and two daughters and a grandfather of seven grandchildren with one more on the way.
He was very hard working. Agustin started to work at a young age on fields picking cotton in Mexico he did many jobs there but then migrated to California to work on fields in 1986. He became a permanent resident of the USA in 1988. Worked in the fields until he decided to take a turn and move up to where he had heard of beef packing plants having lots of jobs he decided to make his way up and started working in National Beef Packing in 1999 to 2015 where he became a supervisor. He started his own small business of selling Carnitas and then he became very well known by lots of people here in Liberal Ks and surrounding towns that would come to buy Carnitas from him that went on from 2015 until he became ill about 2 years ago. Agustin was the most caring person and he leaves a big empty space in the Gallegos Family.
He was super caring and always willing to help anyone! Agustin leaves behind a legacy of hard work, love, and an indelible mark on the lives he touched.
