I just read  this 2023 his passing  total shock. I will never forget Dr. Garcia and his kindness.  He treated me when many others turned me away.  My surgery was successful and I will always be grateful.   Due to a medical condition,  I have often faced rejection and pushed away and rejected, yes  even by doctors.   I remember him looking at me saying I am going to treat you and you will be fine. He has
 Been by far the best , most caring human being and doctor. I will always remember him praying with me before surgery and kissing my forehead . He knew I was scared and he put me at ease. God called one of the best home..RIP Dr Jay

Remember doctor Garcia very good doctor and Friend. You will always be remember. RIP. 
Love, Peace,and light.
Amen

To his family..We will see him again soon in the new system where there will be no more death or suffering..I used to watch Joanna with Reba and I loved the show, I also was with a x that was Cuban and lived in Miami..with lots of friends in Tampa, Orlando and Jax...A good heart is what makes a true person..♥️

I am so shocked.  My daughter told me Dr. Garcia had passed away💔.  I can truly say he saved my life, I would not be here today had he not been an extremely detailed, and a professional doctor.  With the power of prayer and a great physician I am still here today.  I am truly heart broken.  He was such a good human, he never looked at his patients as a next.  He was an individual  in his approach, kind hearted, he was just a good person. He didn't care if you didn't  have INS, he was a healer ❤He treated his patients  like they mattered.  My condolences to his family.  What a wonderful impact, I am sure he had on many people. ❤💔

I just happened to come across an article on Google and saw that A man I admired so much has passed away,  Dr. J. Garcia!  He delivered my first child, our son, James Ricky McCoy,  Jr., in January of 1984.  I also had the great pleasure of working with him at Women's Hospital in Tampa!  My thoughts and prayers go out to his wonderful family and friends!  God bless you, Dr. Garcia and may you rest in peace for all eternity!  Love from the McCoy Family 

To The García Family,

My sincere condolences on your loss.   He will always watch over his family from above.  Blessings to the family during this difficult time.

To Lorraine, JoAnna, Michael , Cuqui, Rosie, Mary n families...We're so sorry to hear of Jay's passing.

When Jay had just purchased his first Sonagram machine and invited us to come when I was pregnant . He was such a handsome,  kind and a loving  family man. He will be missed and what a smile he had. God Bless You and cherish the memories.

We are saddened by the loss of a good friend and highly respected Physician.  We send our deepest condolences and sympathy to Lorraine, Joanna and Michael.

I have known Dr Garcia since I was a little kid.  My mom Loretta used to work for him in his OB / GYN practice.  He was always so nice and kind to me even saw me as a patient from time to time when I got older.  He will be deeply missed and Tampa has lost a wonderful man.  My condolences to his whole family.  

 What a special man, father and husband!  Our deepest sympathies and love to Lorraine,  Michael and Joanna.

Jay was always engaging as well as happy. Although I did not know him well, every time I was around him we talked about baseball, family or business. He was always fun to be around and had a positive attitude. 

Jay was the definition of the "True Gentleman"

i am so sorry that my favorite Gynecologist has passed away.  i started going to him when i was 15. He help me to grow up as a responsible woman, He delivered my son, my niece and my nephew. My mother loved him most of all because he made her feel special and he always had time for her even when he was delivering one of her grand children,  When i returned from the military and did not have insurance he took care of me and provided me with any prescription i needed until i could get back on my feet. He touch so many lives as a loving and very caring person, 

The Haught Family sends deepest condolences to the family.   Our memories of Jay, Loraine, and family go back to Independent Day School, Jesuit, and University of Florida while our children were growing up.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.  

I’ll never forget Dr Garcia and his wonderful way of always caring for his patients as well as passion for his friendships . He and Lorraine were always present to make me feel comfortable during my office visits as well as making me laugh during our many fun times together in the years past . Dr Jay will always hold a place in my heart . My condolences to the
Entire family

I will always have a place in my heart for Dr Garcia , I too was one of his first patients who has suffered 2 miscarriages prior to coming to see him , which I was pregnant and approx 10 weeks I was very fearful this would also end in miscarriage and from the first visit he was very encouraging and truly compassionate in my grief ... sadly that pregnancy ended in miscarriage as well but Dr Garcia said to me have faith and I did and my miracle baby daughter was born a little over a year later and Dr Garcia has to perform a emergency C Section and when she was born and we heard that first cry we Both were in tears as well ! I know I’m only 1 in many who this wonderful Man and caring Doctor blessed ! May the family find comfort and peace knowing he is in paradise ! ❤️

I had the pleasure of knowing Jay for about 45 years, starting in the 70s when we were training at TGH. Our families socialized and shared a few holidays together. We all loved Rosa. Jay delivered my daughter Leah, in 1978, and she, Joanna, and Michael shared much of their childhood together (see attached photo from Halloween 1981). What I remember about Jay was his compassionate care for his patients, and his deep, infectious laugh. But it used to amaze me, that when we were on call together and we would go through the cafeteria line, Jay first, he was usually done eating by time I got through the line and to the table. We'll miss you, Jay!

Uncle Jay was the most incredible man, words can not even begin to describe his legacy. He cherished his family above all and loved bigger the sky. He was the patriarch of our family and I am eternally grateful for all the love he has shown me, my parents & family over the years! He was one of the most important men in my life, always offering advice, support and encouragement. His legacy lives on and though he will always remain in our hearts, he will be forever missed. My love and prayers are with all my family during this time! ❤️ 

I was one of his first patients when he was starting his practice as an OB-GYN, I tell everyone that after GOD he saved my life when I had a tubal pregnancy. Had few surgeries with him and always felt safe under his care. DrGarcia was an amazing & caring Doctor, someone that will always be remembered ! RIP Dr.Garcia and thank you for all you did for me. May God give his family peace and strength during this time of sorrow🙏

I remember Jay as a young man recently arrived from Cuba. He was funny, warm and loving. My favorite memories are of us cousins getting together at tía Rosa's or tía Benicia's house.  He was a very good man who loved his family very much. He will truly be missed. My deepest condolences to the Garcia family. I love you all very much! 

I was saddened by the news Dr. Garcia passed away. I was one of his first patients at 2123 MLK Blvd. He was the best of the best in his field of OB-GYN, I put my trust in him as he performed surgery on me twice and without a doubt it served me well. Also he was a great humanitarian.
"RIP Dr. Garcia", you will truly be missed.

Jay, while exceptionally successful and admired by all who had the privilege to know him, held family first. He loved our son, as his own and embraced us with open arms into his family, as well. He was a beautiful example to all of us with his loving and giving heart. The loss of this great man has forever changed our family, and we will be dedicated to carry on his wonderful legacy.

Jay was a once in a lifetime friend whose kind heart and generous ways can never be replaced. Here is to all the laughs and good times. Ed and Barbara Friends forever.

I am so honored and blessed to have known and worked with Dr. G over the last 7 years.   He was truly an inspiration to not only myself but everyone around him.  Dr. Garcia, you will be missed but your legacy will continue on!  May God give him eternal rest and his family the strength to bear this great pain.

Jay and I shared a mutual respect and friendship for many years, although we rarely socialized with each other. He afforded me the privilege of working closely with him in his vastly popular and successful weight loss program by making me the medical director of his South Tampa office. I shall always cherish the time we spent together. He was a wonderful caring person. He was an excellent physician, loving husband and father, and a dependable friend. I shall miss him greatly.
Eli Rose, M.D., F.A.C.O.G.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Garcia for many, many years. He treated us all like family. He was such an amazing man. We will miss you so much. We love you & your memories will live in our hearts forever. We will keep your family in our prayers. It's a sad day.

I have known Jay for over 10 years and mainly through various business ventures.  But, in that time I got to know one of the most genuine, kind, and considerate people I have ever met.  I am very grateful to have known him for the time I did and his presence and energy will be missed.  My deepest condolences to his family. 

I am blessed and privileged to have known this amazing man. I met him almost 30 years ago when I was in pharmaceutical sales and calling on his OBGyn practice.  As he pioneered the Weightloss and Wellness frontier, I witnessed how people learned from him and lives were improved because of him.  I am so thankful to have been able to be a part of his organization for the last year, and get to know him and those who have worked alongside him all this time.  He will be greatly missed but he has planted many seeds of knowledge and his legacy will continue!  Prayers for his family during this time. ❤️

No words can explain the emotions I am feeling. I had the pleasure of working with Dr. G for the last 15yrs. He was such a big part of my life and taught me so much. He was more than just my employer he was family. I will forever remember you. My prayers go out to  his family. 

Dr. G. You’ll never be forgotten but you will be very very missed. Love you! 

My deepest condolences to Dr Garcia's family, and all of my former coworkers. Dr Garcia was one of the most kind, gracious, and generous men I have ever met. He was a very special person. Heaven certainly gained another angel. I'm so sorry for your loss Lorraine, Jo and Michael, and all of your sweet families. Prayers for comfort and peace.
