Dad dies after falling off roof while hanging Christmas lights with his son.

A man in Texas has died after he fell off a roof while he was hanging Christmas lights with his son to earn some extra holiday money.

“He was on the roof and then we heard something,” said Gallegos’ widow Alisha Flick to ABC News’ Dallas affiliate station WFAA. “He was lying on the concrete saying ‘help me, help me.’”“The CAT scan came back and he had a skull fracture and bleeding in the brain. And then he had a chest fracture and they had to drain blood from his chest. They rushed him into emergency surgery but he didn’t make it,” Flick said tearfully.

"He always had a smile on his face, and he was always goofy and making everybody laugh," a clearly heartbroken Flick told WFAA.

Dammit... So sad

I mean. This is so much more important than that Jeffrey Epstein story you keep hiding exposing a massive pedophile ring

So sad

Look at the pitch of that roof.

😞

Prayers are with the Felipe Gallegos family.

People: If you are going on the roof, you need to harness yourself. The pros do. ---------- Cc: Make_It_Right

I don't think you're supposed to put them *on* the roof.

Really sad! Imagine what future Xmas's will hold for the children!

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

Was his first name Clark?

Kids going to grow up hating Christmas. May his father find peace, and this kid, and his family, find light in this dark time. May this kid find a positive outlet for his grief, so that it doesn't consume later in life.

Heartbreaking

Another casualty in the War on Christmas.

Very sad. I assume this is probably how I will go as well. Either that, or choking on a grape in a rocking chair at age 85.

Very sad to hear! Thoughts and prayers sent to the family!!

Is this really big news? Leave this family alone now.
