Raymond Garza was born to Encarnacion and Luciana Garza, one of six beloved children: Paula Delgado, Ramie Garza, John Garza, Emmie Nunez, and Maryanne Olmos.
He spent nearly his entire life—87 wonderful years—in Dinuba, California, before moving to Hughson, where he continued to share his warmth and gentle spirit with everyone around him.
For 26 years, Raymond worked faithfully for Wickes Forestry, where his dedication, humility, and strong work ethic earned him deep respect from those who knew him.
Beyond his work, his heart belonged to his faith and his family.
A devoted Catholic, Raymond was a lifelong member of St. Catherine’s Parish in Dinuba. He served joyfully as a Eucharistic Minister and was always willing to lend a helping hand—whether counting parish offerings, attending English Bible Study, or serving meals at funeral gatherings. His quiet acts of service reflected a heart rooted deeply in faith, love, and compassion.
Raymond’s greatest pride and joy were his children—Margaret Garza, Yolanda Villasenor, Caroline Aldava, and Bobby Raya—whom he loved dearly. He was also a proud grandfather and great-grandfather, whose laughter, kindness, and wisdom will forever live in the hearts of those he leaves behind.
Those who knew Raymond will remember his gentle smile, his unwavering faith, and the way he always made others feel cared for.
Though we will miss him deeply, we take comfort in knowing that he is now at peace—reunited with our Lord and his beloved wife, Gabby, in heaven.
His legacy of love, service, and faith will continue to shine through all the lives he touched.
