Jose Marcelino Garcia, Sr.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Uncle Joe,
Thank you for all the great memories of growing up with you and my cousins the great family BBQ's in your back yard playing basketball you teaching me how to drive your bug and not jam the gears, uncle when I attended your 85th Bday you brought those times up why because those memories also made you smile, uncle I will always smile with those happy times to. Rest in Peace.

Uncle: You have been part of my life for so many years. Your death is not the end because your love lives in my heart forever. You supported me in good times and hard times. You came to my baseball games, traveled to my gigs, and you represented your generation in my wedding. We conversed about life, laughed a lot and found a common interest for foreign film. You helped me become a better man. All my love to my aunts, uncle and my cousins as we grieve our loss. Rest in PEACE, my loving...

Uncle Joe words can not explain the void that I am sure your immediate family is feeling. It is safe to say, that all of the Garcia's are feeling the same way. In good times and in bad you were our familys biggest cheerleader. Personally you would always make my moms and Alyssa's day when you would visit. My mom is the quiet type, but I know she misses her brother terribly. If I had one wish---I HOPE HEAVEN IS TREATING YOU WELL. ❤

Joe, we always enjoyed coaching soccer 40+ years ago and having our team beat yours! You were always a fair coach and a great man. May you rest in peace.

"The Garcia Family", my sincere condolences to you all during this difficult time. Your dad will be missed and was a great Uncle. I appreciated him stepping in to be my Godfather for my "confirmation" through church. I know my dad and him have more great stories and laughs to continue as they meet in heaven along with all the many friends and family. Sorry I will not be able to attend his services due to a new path and career. My prayers and BLESSINGS to you all.

Joseph & Salli...

I will always remember being a part of the first ever Lompoc woman’s adult soccer team and Mr Garcia was our coach. I was the youngest member of this team and remember so many fun travel day's. I moved to Florida but stayed in touch with my best buddy Suzanne and her amazing hubby Robert, so i always knew how Mr Garcia was doing. One of the best decisions i ever made was traveling back to Lompoc with my husband for his surprise 85th birthday party. He will be missed and knowing the family and...

Mr. Garcia, you were definitely one of the good ones. I always anxiously awaited your visit to City Hall every June asking for a couple more Flower Festival parking permits. We’d end up chatting away without a care in the world. I will forever appreciate how you always asked “How’s Jimmy doing?” and you were sincere and truly wanted to know. We were very sad to hear of your passing. We were not just neighbors all these years but friends too. Our heartfelt prayers are with your family and all...
