Fernando E Garcia (Fred E) -- January 1946-March 2020 On Tuesday, March 31, 2020, Fernando E Garcia (AKA Fred E) from Littleton, CO went home to his father in heaven. Despite his crusty exterior, cutting remarks and stubbornness, there is actual evidence that he was a loving, giving and caring person. That evidence is the deep sorrow and pain in our hearts that his family and friends feel from his passing. Fernando led a good life and had a peaceful death while at home surrounded by his family. He was someone who claimed that he did not like to commit, but he was married for over 51 years to Martina Dodge Garcia.
