Arturo M Garcia

**In Loving Memory of Arturo Garcia**

Arturo (Art/Jr.) Garcia, age 63, passed away on September 25, 2025, after a long and courageous battle with colon and lung cancer. He faced his illness with the same resilience and strength that defined his life.

Born on February 28, 1962, in Tucson, Arizona, Art was a man of profound love and selflessness. He had an incredible ability to bring comfort and joy to those around him, often lighting up the room with his infectious laughter. Art found great joy in spending time with his family, always ready with a joke to bring a smile to their faces. He cherished simple pleasures, whether it was sitting on the porch enjoying carne asada and cold beers, casting a line into the lake, or listening to his favorite music.

 Art's greatest treasure was his family. He is survived by his devoted wife, Tracie, and his beloved children: Adrian Garcia (Olga Villela Bray), Chris Garcia (Adriana Garcia), and Felina Arbizo. He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren: Jolee (Froggy), Raquel (Rocket), Alex (Changito/Buddy), Adrian Jr. (AJ), Allie Mae (Allie-Gator), Nolan (Chipper), and Theo (Curly).

 He was preceded in death by his mother, Loretta Garcia, and his siblings: Sally Garcia, Victor Garcia (Monica Garcia), and Alice Long (David Long).

In honoring Art’s wishes, he will be cremated. After the services, we invite family and friends to gather at his sister’s home to share stories, laughter, and memories as we celebrate the wonderful life he led.

The family is deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support during this difficult time. Your kindness has brought us comfort, and we appreciate each and every one of you.
