Matias enjoyed fishing, working on cars, tackling projects around the house, a good game of dominos, and most of all, spending time with his children and grandchildren. His hands were always busy, his heart always giving, and his love for those around him was steadfast.

His children: Junior Garcia of Pulaski OH: Priscilla Garcia Conti of Wauseon, OH: Samuel (Melinda) Garcia of Mountainview, Arkansas: and Jeremiah (Valerie) Garcia of Archbold, OH; as well as his stepchildren: Caleb (Brenda) Arce of Defiance, OH, and Amanda (Keith) Johnson of Toledo, OH. He was a proud grandfather to 16 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren, and he deeply loved his many nieces and nephews.
Preceding him in passing are his parents, Matias Garcia and Tomasita (Olivares) Garcia; brothers, Joe Garcia and Agripino "Pino" Garcia and sister, Eva Garcia-Gonzales.
Matias will be remembered for his hard work, generosity, and unwavering devotion to his family. His legacy will live in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
