Christopher was born January 31, 1968, in Delta, Colorado, to Mary Alice (Valdez) Gallegos and Henry John Gallegos Jr. He grew up in Delta County and as a young child he loved riding bikes and playing baseball. In his early adulthood he was blessed with children from different chapters in his life, each chapter contributing to the story of who he was. He faced challenges and difficult seasons throughout life, yet those experiences shaped his strength and led him to give his life to God. His life reflected both struggle and hope, he held onto his belief in grace. He had a longstanding relationship with Jim Renfrow, who gave him more than a chance. Christopher loved to fish as much as he had a passion for building bicycles. God arranged for him to be at a Church Camp in Ouray in early 2000. There is where he met someone who showed him how to build bicycles. Several years after that is when he was featured in a news article on the front page of Montrose Daily Press with his photo, the headline read "Ex-Con receives new life with Jesus Bikes.” He had rebuilt over 100-150 bikes per year for The Haven House, a shelter for women and children. He was known in the community as "Mr. Jesus Bikes.” That gave him much joy to see that he was making a difference in those who were less fortunate.

Christopher is survived by his siblings Ronald "Ron" Gallegos, Carol Gallegos, Theresa Giron (Johnny), Susan Chavez (Abel). His two sons Alberto Solomon Campos, Christopher Gallegos Sherwood, his daughter Jaclyne Gallegos, and his step-daughters Savanna and Sierra. Christopher has 7 grandchildren Angel Campos, Twila Areceli Campos, Oscar Campos, Josiah Sherwood, Jeremiah Johnson, Malachi Gallegos, and Clarissa Patterson. Christopher is preceded in death by his parents Mary Alice Gallegos, Henry John Gallegos Jr., his son Isaac Gallegos, and his brother David Gallegos.
