Steven
     I remember I used to go and sell my aluminum cans down on highway 90 where you used to work,  we used to talk about the familys , we would talk about my job and you talk about your job 
      I will remember your laughter and your smile.  
            
        


Dad,

I have been struggling to find the right words to say and even still, I’m not sure. You and I had a unique relationship, always fighting, even towards the end but the one thing that never changed was your love for your grandsons. You were never good about showing your feelings, you were silly, and a pain but you taught us love. Love for mom and love for my siblings. When I was young, you made me cut the grass and I was so mad and couldn’t believe that you made me do that. When you tried to teach me how to drive, you decided to send me to driving school, but you taught me how to change a tire. You told me that it was so that I didn’t have to depend on a man to do something for me. All of my life, you prepared me to be strong and independent. You taught me that no matter how late I was out, I still had to get up early to go to work and church. You worked so hard your entire life and I thank you for that. I hope that you can forgive me if I ever hurt your feelings and I forgive you. I will always love you daddy and I promise that your boys will go to church and do what they have to do to make you proud. Rest easy and know that we will take good care of mom and each other. 
Love always,
Erica

I recall this humorous time when l was supposed to have been caring for my three younger Garcia cousins and the pot of beans burned while we played outside.  Somehow Esteba n overpowered me and grabbed the water hose away from me and showered me while chuckling and saying "Got you Margaret!" Tia did not find it funny that I failed to keep order, allowed the beans to burn, and borrowed beans from the neighbor! But we kids enjoyed Esteban's monkey business, at least I did! 😆  I believe he is having a joyful time with his dad, Tio Mike, for both had "un corazon muy alegre!" 🙏 🕊 RIP

Dad, I am already missing you. Thank you for working hard always to provide for our family. Going to miss your smiles, your silliness, your play fighting with the kids, your prayer intentions during our daily zoom rosary. No matter how hard things were you always instilled God in our family by sending us to private school and making us attend mass every Sunday as a family. Thank you for the family you gave us, we have a family bond that is AMAZING!!! We know that we can always count on each other. We promise to continue always being there for mom and each other because we know that is what you taught us. I promise to continue to send your Gordo to his catechism classes like you wanted so he will make his communion next year. Rest Peacefully with Grandpa and my boys (your grandsons) I know you will take good care of them for me until we meet again in Gods Paradise. I will miss you dearly and I love you Dad! 

I will always miss you,  Steven.  I will forever remember your big smile.  Always laughing and having a good time.  I do not remember you ever getting angry, even when you were going through rough times.  You always accepted life the way it was; good or bad, hard or easy times.  Whatever came your way, you embraced life. No wonder, not only did you look a lot like dad, you also acted like dad.  Easy come, easy go.  Always ready to work hard during the week and always ready to party on the weekends. It hurts to say goodbye but I know we will meet again one day soon.  Thank you Vangie for loving my brother the way you did.  I will forever be grateful to you.  Rest In Peace my brother. ♥️🙏🙏🙏♥️

My condolences to the Garcia Family. He was a great man and truly good friend to me. I’m gonna miss u and miss all the talks we had. I enjoyed working with you for all these years.. Thank you for always being a good friend.I’m truly gonna miss you!

I’m going to miss you grandpa. I know I didn’t get to spend as much time with you as I would have liked, but every moment I did spend with you had a special place in my heart. It was always the small things that you did or asked that meant a lot. I’m going to miss when you would say funny/goofy things. Or when you would simply just ask how I was doing in school or at work. I’m happy that I got to have you as my grandpa and that you made such a big impact in my life. I’m always going to remember you and love you. I’m going to miss you so much grandpa. I hope where ever you are you know how much you meant to me even if I never got the chance to tell you. I hope you’re at rest now.  
With Love, your granddaughter, Celeste Garcia <3

Ms. Garcia, Carmen, Michael , Vangie and Family,
Steve will be greatly missed not just a neighbor of over 50 yrs but he was like a big  brother always a smile on his face and an encouraging word. Always a wave and a greeting if we were outside. When we'd go to the recycle plant he'd always take the time to ask  Zach about school and how he was doing and encouraging him to study hard.  Rest in Peace,  Steve you will be missed.

My condolences are with the Garcia family.

I want stay “Thank You” dad for being in our lives for as long as you could.  Thank You for waking up rain, shine, freezing and hot to go to work so that you can provide us with private education and get me through college. Thank You for getting me a job with you. The experience is something I will never forget. Thank You for showing me to show love for other kids. Without you, Celeste would be alone in the world. You showed her nothing but love and respect. I’m going to miss you calling me to fix your truck and to tell mom to call you. Know that I’ve always loved you for who you were. It’s going to be tough without you, but you are in a better place with all the ones we’ve loved that are in heaven. I promise that we will take care of mom. Celeste, Adelaida and I (Esteban Garcia Jr) love you. Until we meet again dad, Rest In Peace.
