JUAN GARCIA Obituary

JUAN RAMON GARCIA PHARR - Juan Ramon Garcia, 61, passed away Monday, April 29, 2013 at McAllen Medical Center. Juan Ramon was born June 4, 1951 in Hay Springs, Nebraska. He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Emma R. Garcia, his four children: Juan Ramon Jr. (Edna) of McAllen, Daniel (Zenaida) of Laredo, Belinda Ann and Diana Alicia Garcia of Pharr; three brothers: Hector Guadalupe (Juanita) Garcia of San Juan, Luis (Irma) Garcia of Pharr, and Eleazar (Melissa) Mendoza of Buda; six grandchildren: Vinny, Valerie, Evelyn and Daniela Garcia of Laredo, and Eric Isaiah and Sadie Renee Reyna of Pharr.

J.R., as he was affectionately known, was employed at PSJA ISD for the last twelve years as Head Custodian at Raul Longoria Elementary. He loved his job and went to work with a smile every day. He took great pride in pleasing the staff and always found ways to make their jobs easier. His cheery disposition and bright smile will be missed by everyone who knew him. At home, he was everyone's Superman. Anything we asked of him, from plumbing, to carpentry, to bbq'ing, he would do with a smile. Our Papi/Grandpa/Tío Mon/Compadre/Superman we will miss you dearly and even though you left us far too soon, we will cherish every memory. We know you are already rejoicing in the arms of our Heavenly Father. Visitation will be from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm Thursday, May 2, 2013 with a rosary being recited at 7:00 pm.

Today is the 7th year anniversary of you having left us. When I see our pictures, all the pain and sadness comes back and overwhelms me. I can't believe all these years have passed already. I still miss you so very much. My life has had to go on without you. After 3 years, I realized that LIFE is truly precious. We need to live it. We don't know what is in our future. Tomorrow isn't promised. I know that you are in Heaven. One day we will see each other again. Until then, I will keep the memories of you alive. I will love you until I take my last breath. I will miss you forever. Your wife, Emma "Mamis"

My Beloved Husband, tomorrow will be one year ago that you left to live with our Heavenly Father. You took a big part of my heart with you. I can't believe that I made it through this year without you. You were my everything. How I wish that I could see you and hold you in my arms again. I will always love you and think of you. I hope that one day I can remember our life together without feeling this heartache. You were my tall, dark and handsome husband...my Papi Chulo. I will always love you. Looking forward to the day when we will see each other again. Siempre te recordare. <3 <3

Compadre Juan, it's hard to believe it's been 8 months since we last saw your smiling face. I smile when I think of the fact that you had 3 breakfasts that morning because you never said no to anyone. The holidays were hard, but together we got through them. It gives me comfort to see "Big Red" parked in your garage. Please continue to watch over us as we pray for your eternal rest. We love you and will always miss you.

Compadre, it is still very difficult to accept that you are gone. I know you are helping God to repair and build things in His Heavenly Kingdom. We continue to put one foot in front of the other, day after day, as hard as it is without you here. Please continue to take care of us. Rest In Peace Tio Mon.

You are still the best of the best in our lives.

I am trying my best to be a better father to my son and daughters, a better son, grand son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend. Your passing has humbled me in many ways, I love you dad.

My Compadre Juan, it has been 4 wks since you left us to live in God's Heavenly Kingdom. We know you are watching over us, we can feel your presence, but we sure miss you! It still seems like a dream that we can't wake up from. You were, and still are, a blessing to our family. You were the best brother in law I could have asked for. I loved you then, and I will forever love and miss you.
