Rafael, better known as Popo, was born October 24th, 1936 in San Buenaventura, Chihuahua, Mexico to parents, Santiago Garcia and Sabas Rodriguez. He had many hobbies throughout his life, but his love for horses and his horse drawn carriage were the most prominent in his life.

Daughter's Margarita Garcia (Alfonso Barrera) and Martha Angelina Garcia (Guillermo Gomez)
Son's Enrique S. Garcia (Angela), Jose Alfonso Garcia (Lavonna), Gustavo Garcia (Yolanda), Carlos Garcia (Cynthia), Rafael Garcia (Corina), and Edgar Garcia (Claudia).
His legacy lives on through the 21 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held from 5:00-8:00pm on Monday, March 10, 2025 at Christian Life Church, 1498 South 1700 West ~ Payson, Utah.
Rafael will be deeply missed by everyone around him, but our lord knew it was the right time for him to go. His final resting place will be in the Municipal Cemetery of San Buenaventura.
