He was born in El Refugio, San Luis Potosi, Mexico on October 3, 1936. He was the youngest child and only son of Magdalena Reyes and Juan Garcia Sr. He was predeceased by his parents and sisters Leonarda Rivera and Juanita Sanchez.
Our beloved father had a zest for life. As a young man, he enjoyed bull riding and lots of dancing. Later in life he derived great pleasure from maintaining a tidy yard, and even more so from the upkeep of his red 1964 Chevy pickup, which inspired many smiles wherever he went.
He traveled, worked as an agricultural laborer in Washington, and eventually worked for many years as a painter…and he did like painting! Through his love of travel, he nurtured relationships with his large extended family; and in this way shared his deep love of family with his children.
Left to cherish his life and memory are his children; Francisco Javier Garcia “El Guero”, Sanjuana Casiano (Francisco Israel), Magdalena Gonzalez (Rolando), and Juan Garcia III (Laura);grandchildren, Tiffany Elizabeth Gainous, Tatiana Elena Garcia, Taylor Evern Garcia, Francisco Israel Casiano, Eric Casiano, Evan Casiano, Aaron Juan Gonzalez, Brisia Gonzalez, Monica Gonzalez, Helen Ruth Garcia, Marielena Garcia, Lauren Aline Garcia, and Isabel Garcia; doting sisters, Abundia Ruiz and Julia Suarez; nieces, Ester Lopez, Gloria Pacheco, Angelica Ruiz, and many other nieces, nephews, and friends.
