Antonio was born on September 9, 1982 to Jose and Teresa Gallegos in Plainview. He graduated Plainview High School in 2001 and had been living in Houston since 2014. Antonio lived life to the fullest! He thoroughly thrived on spending and sharing time with family and friends. Nothing stopped him from trying or showing off his talents and making people laugh! He enjoyed going to the beach, watching the Houston Rockets, and loved watching boxing - no one was better than his Canelo. If you were his fortunate face book friend; then you knew 1st hand that he would never turn down a good home cooked meal or any food at all for that matter. Every other post was him being a ?food-taster/food critic?. He really loved food. He was also very, very, very passionate about watching his favorite football team ? and no, not the ?Dallas Cowgirls? but ?THE Dallas Cowboys. Tony was a die-hard Cowboy fan. Tony?s day was never complete until he made those daily calls to his parents. If you truly knew Tony, then you absolutely knew that his son and his parents were indeed his absolute greatest love. Tony was known and loved by so many people and he will be dearly missed by all. He was a member of Lakewood Church in Houston and Our Lady of Guadalupe in Plainview.
