Katlyn was given to us on Saturday, January 3, 1998 in Kaufman, Texas and went home to be with Jesus on Monday, July 8, 2019. Katlyn joined, in Heaven, her Poppy, her granddad, and a baby she lost in 2015. Katlyn was a beautiful, young and outgoing girl. She was always full of life and loved deeply with her whole heart. She enjoyed most being together in large groups with our family. Katlyn loved the holidays because she knew everyone would all be together all day and some even spent the night. She loved the stories and laughter, and boy did she have laughter - one of the loudest laughs EVER!. Her smile and happy spirit would always light up a room. Her boys were her entire world since she became a mother. She loved playing with them and teaching them both things. Katlyn was full of life and believed in making every minute count. There is nothing that girl wouldn't do - nothing. She loved an adventure of any kind. From a very young age she learned a love for nature and hunting with her Poppy and cousins. I am sure everyone has some memories with her and for that we must all be thankful.
Katlyn is survived by her husband Mario Garcia, two sons; Nathaniel and Adryen, her mother Bobbie Cash and husband JR, her dad Christopher Hood and wife Brooke, brother Rylan Hood, sisters; Kaylee and McKenna Cash, nanny Kelly Sanders, grandfather Donnie Hood Sr. great-grandfather Jerry Brown, aunts and uncles; Donnie Hood and wife Shanda, Brad Sanders and wife Joyce, as well as many very close cousins and other family and friends.
