With heavy hearts, we share the news of the passing of Raphael S. Garcia on September 20, 2023. He was a cherished father, husband, and a man of remarkable wisdom whose passion for literature enriched the lives of all fortunate enough to know him.
Raphael, born on January 13, 1964 , possessed an extraordinary intellect and a boundless love for books. The pages of countless volumes provided him with solace and inspiration throughout his life. His vast library was a testament to his deep affection for the written word. His warm smile and kind heart were a source of comfort to those who had the privilege of knowing him.
Raphael's legacy extends well beyond his literary interests. He leaves behind a family profoundly influenced by his wisdom, friends who will forever miss his laughter, and a community that remembers him as a generous and compassionate soul. As we bid farewell to Raphael, let us take comfort in the memories we shared and the invaluable lessons he imparted. Although he is no longer with us in person, his love, wisdom, and passion for literature will continue to illuminate our lives.
A celebration of Raphael's life will be held at All Souls Chapel on Wednesday, October 4, 2023 at Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Cemetery, followed by a committal where he will be placed to rest.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.AchesonandGraham.com for the Garcia family.
