A former KPRC weathercaster who worked at television stations throughout Texas has died.

Roland Galvan was 48.

Family members say Galvan died at a San Antonio hospital on Christmas after suffering from liver problems for about two years.

He was chief meteorologist at KIII in Corpus Christi before leaving in November 2004.

Galvan also had worked at what's now WOAI in San Antonio.

From the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, Galvan was on KPRC and KTRK in Houston. Galvan also worked at KTLA in Los Angeles in the late 1990s. He did weather segments in Beaumont and San Francisco before arriving in Corpus Christi.

Galvan is survived by his father, his brothers and his son, Jeffery.

A rosary was scheduled for Tuesday at Mission Park Funeral Home South in San Antonio. A service is planned Wednesday at St. Leo's Catholic Church in San Antonio.
