Newcomer Funeral Home - West Metro ChapelGerald M. Garcia, a vibrant spirit filled with laughter and warmth, left this world on August 4, 2025, at the age of 50. Born on September 7, 1974, in the heart of Denver, Colorado, Gerald lived a life that exemplified joy and compassion, bringing light into the lives of all who had the privilege to know him.
Raised by his beloved mother, Geraldine, and the guiding presence of his father, Steve Sr., who predeceased him, Gerald carried with him the values of kindness and faith. He was not just a son but also a cherished father to his son Jeremy, a relationship that brought him immense pride and joy. His brother Stephen stood proudly by his side, while his late brothers Gary and Frank, though no longer with us, held a special place in Gerald's heart, shaping the man he became. Additionally, he leaves behind numerous nephews and nieces, who adored him for his playful spirit and his ability to light up a room.
Gerald’s personality was characterized by his outgoing nature and good sense of humor. He had an unparalleled gift for making people laugh; he truly loved people and showed an unwavering care for everyone he encountered. His compassionate heart was always open, ready to support friends and family alike, creating bonds that will last a lifetime.
A man of deep faith, Gerald found solace and community in his church, attending every Sunday without fail. He shared a profound connection with Pastor Ray and Pastor Eddie, whose guidance and support meant the world to him. His faith provided him with strength and comfort, grounding him in times of need.
Gerald had passions that filled his life with happiness; he was an avid football enthusiast who followed the NFL closely with great enthusiasm. He enjoyed going out to eat with family, savoring good meals and quality time shared with loved ones. His love for adventure took him on long drives, exploring open houses, igniting his curiosity about the world around him.
As we remember Gerald, we celebrate a life well-lived and a spirit undimmed by the passage of time. He brought joy into our lives and, in return, filled our hearts with his love.
Friends and family are invited to honor Gerald's memory through a series of events that reflect the warmth he shared. On September 12, 2025, New Hope Ministries in Lakewood will host visitation from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, followed by a celebration of Gerald’s life at 11:00 AM. He will be laid to rest at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Golden at 1:00 PM, culminating another gathering back at New Hope Ministries from 2:00 PM
Gerald M. Garcia leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and kindness. He will be profoundly missed but forever remembered in the hearts of those who cherished him most.
