Joseph "Joe" Louis Garcia II

Joseph “Joe” Louis Garcia II, age 67, of Johns Island SC, entered eternal rest Monday, August 1, 2022, with his family by his side. Joe was born January 24, 1955, in Charleston WV, son of the late Joseph Louis Garcia and Edith Johnson Garcia. In addition to his parents, Joe was predeceased by his sister, Beth Garcia Reynolds.

Joe was a 1973 graduate of St. Albans High School and spent many years managing the family business Perdue’s Hardware and Grocery in Campbells Creek before moving with his family to South Carolina in 2002.
