Trinidad Garcia Figueroa Jr.

Trinidad Garcia Figueroa Jr. In Loving Memory Trinidad Figueroa, respected Businessman, talented Athlete, beloved Husband, Father and Friend; deceased at the all too early age of 57, on October 11th, 2007. He is survived by his wife Evangelina, his children Faustino, Marisela, Marcos and his son-in-law Erik. His circle of love extended to adopted family and friends whom he loyally loved and embraced. Trini, an avid mentor and philanthropist used his love of basketball and his example of selflessness and loyalty to teach those around him the true meaning of sportsmanship and generosity. Trini loved life to the fullest. He was born in Juarez, Mexico, raised in El Paso, Texas and graduated from Bowie High in 1969. Trini was offered a basketball scholarship at the University of Texas, El Paso, but instead moved to San Jose, CA to be with his family. He attended S.J. City College where he played basketball and boxed. After only 6 months of training and no prior matches, he won the West Coast Golden Glove Boxing Championship at the age of 20. In college, Trini met his future wife, Evangelia. Shortly thereafter, Trini served in the Army and the Reserves. He began his career with Pacific Bell where he was promoted in short order. After over 15 years as a successful manager, he left Pacific Bell to start Micon Telecomm, Inc. with his wife. During Micon's 18 years of success, he generously donated time and money to social justice and the less fortunate. He used his company to encourage and mentor youth. All of us fortunate enough to have known Trini will miss his "larger than life" persona as we experience the loss that his early passing has left in our lives!
