PSALM 23

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

My Prayers and thoughts are with you all.  Mike was one of a kind.  I got to know him when he started with Northwestern Mutual.  I cherished our lunches at Crown.  He had an infectious smile, great sense of Humour and was loved by all.  I will miss him so much.  You raised a Beautiful Soul.  All my love.

I was truly heartbroken when I heard this news today. Michael was one of a kind. I will always remember him fondly as one of my favorite kids that I was a counselor to at youth groups & retreats. His smile lit up the room and he had a genuinely good & loving nature. He was kind, loyal and a true joy to be around. I know there are no words that meet the tragedy of this moment. I just feel so badly for all of you! Please know that I love you guys & you are all in my prayers. May his memory be eternal.

I was lucky to have my life touched by Michael. Always respected, always loved, and always the life of the party - unless you needed a shoulder to cry on or life advice - then he was there for that too. What an immense loss for your family and for those who know him. May his memory be eternal and live on through all of us who were lucky enough to know him and have our life paths cross. Zoi se sas.

I am grateful to have had Mike in my orbit. He helped me in so many ways. His guidance helped me be better at my job, and his friendship made Salt Lake feel like home. We all have people in our lives who get us through the hard times and Mike was one of those people for me. I will never forget his radiant smile, infectious laugh, or unending sarcasm.

Michael quickly turned into a lifelong friend when we met at Morgan Stanley. We kept in touch almost monthly after we left. Many lunches as we progressed through our professional lives over the past 12 years. I will miss his positive and always supportive attitude.  Rest in peace my friend.

Klea:  To you and your husband , I am so very very sorry for your loss. What a  wonderful  tribute to your son.  I just read the obituary and your son was amazing.  Klea, if Hallsey were here he would have the right words.  I am not so good.  He thought so much of you. I don't think the pain goes away Klea but maybe in time or at least for me it softens over time.  I think there will always be a hole in your heart.  I send my love to you and even if Hallsey isn't here I send his love to you anyway.  Edna Hallsey

Michael Gallegos was an exceptional human being; among the finest I have ever had the privilege of knowing. I will always remember the late night poker tournaments, the Greek Festival celebrations and the indelible mark he left on basketball teams in the GSL. Michael was generous with his time, added life to every party and was always there with a kind word and empathy in the moments it was needed. These traits are carried by both his siblings and are a testament to the amazing job Klea and Gerard have done as parents. I am so so sorry for your loss. This is the most unfair and inhumane thing that can afflict any family and my heart breaks for you. Please find support in each other and in all people that love you and who were touched by Michael. I will carry his memory with me always.

Gallegos Family, I am heartbroken to hear this news of Michael's passing and my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Reflecting on the incredible gift that his spirit was to this world, I think of the memories we had as junior goya dancers and how he truly was the embodiment of joy and light, greeting everyone with that bright caring smile. He leaves a great legacy of love. May his memory be eternal.
