Matt Garcia Obituary
Matt leaves behind his loving wife, Kristy, and his cherished children, Mason and Molly. He is also survived by his parents, Kyle and John Garcia, and his sister, Cori Ruiz (Garcia), and her husband, Luis Ruiz.
Throughout his life, Matt enjoyed fishing, hiking, and traveling, but his greatest joy was spending time with his family. His presence brought light and warmth to their lives, and he will be deeply missed.
A celebration of Matt's life will be held at The Hollows Conservation Area, 3804 US-14, Cary, IL 60013, on Sunday, July 28th from 11 AM to 2 PM.

While Matt's time with Tempco HVAC was short we knew we had the experience of a hard working individual who took pride in his work and always made sure it was done properly. The few times I was able to talk to Matt the first thing we always discussed was family and how proud he was children and how much he was "in love" with his wife. While words can never express the sorrow everyone has during these hard times but on behalf of Tempco HVAC and all our employees I offer our sincere condolences.

You had just been my sister´s boyfriend at the time but we officially connected after our first in depth conversation about all things UFC. When the Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar fight was the most epic thing we´ve ever seen. You were the best uncle to Michael and showed him adventure and the great outdoors. You went on to become the most amazing husband, father, and uncle, who cherished his time with everyone he loved. We will miss your infectious laugh and gentle smile and will carry your love and spirit on with us forever. Fly high. Not fade away.
