I miss you daddy, I wish you were here. I know God took you for a reason, but I don't understand why...why it had to be you, why so soon, why couldn't we of known ahead of time. I'm mad that he took you before we made it to the hospital...I wanted to tell you that I loved you daddy I still love you and I miss you so much. I can't wait to be with you again. I love you daddy, I love you the whole skies!!

Babe, missing you so much, miss everything about you. I love, love, love you!

Truly loved,  beautiful funeral.  He brought a full house to Montecito...  Friends, loved ones had to stand up in back of chapel and side isles.  1800 boom truck outside with the boom raised and a flag which was folded and given to me. 
So proud of you babe,  I miss you so much.  My best friend,  my husband,  my everything.

Ive known Gabe many years since we were in our early 20's. Back then it was just Gabe and Brenda. As the years passed his family grew with children and grandchildren. We may not have seen each other often but when we did we always had great times. Gabe always had a sly little smile on his face that made you happy to be around him. My condolences go out to the entire Garcia family for your loss. He was a wonderful man with a wonderful heart and he will be missed by many including myself.

I have heard so many great things about this man. I'm so sorry for the loss of this inspirational example of a great son,husband, friend, father,uncle, cousin and grandson. My heart goes out to you all. So sorry.

 He had a relationship with so many. And the relationship always ran so deep. If he didn't get you with his sincerity, then he got you with his smile. The love for others was always in his heart. Sometimes he showed it in a tough way...but at the end of the day, you still know that he loved you. The love was always there in his eyes...either offering you a water or a place to sit. 

I miss you Pops..                     -David Salgado-
