Max G. Garcia born October 12, 1945 in Buckeye, AZ. He grew up in Glendale and than became a lifelong resident of Peoria. He became our angel and earned his wings on January 22, 2019 at the age of 73.

He is survived by wife Irene Garcia, who he was married to for 43 years, his children Robert Cortez (Teresa), Edward Cortez, Becky Burrola (David), Christina Cortez-Chavarria, Lorie Cortez, Sarah Garcia, Stella Vasquez (Javier), Ermelinda Garcia, and Jazmine Cortez-Garcia. He had 25 grandchildren, many great grandchildren, a few great great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Max’s health limited his activities in recent years, but many will recall him in his prime as a big strong guy with a quiet, thoughtful manner. Many people also admired his work ethic, you name the occupation, he can do it. He was great with his hands, could work on anything around the house, or on any vehicle. His number one job was a roofer. He supported his family roofing. He would get extra jobs on the side just to make sure he provided for his family. He loved to go fishing and camping when time permitted. He will be missed and will live on with all the memories he left behind. He is now with our Heavenly Father and has reunited with his Mom and Dad and all his brothers and sisters. Rest in peace until we meet again.
