Albert A Garcia

In cherished memory of Albert A Garcia, 89, who was called home to the Lord, September 5, 2026.

Albert was born in Phoenix, AZ, on December 1, 1936, to parents Luciano and Eduarda. From a young age, Albert developed values based on integrity and a strong work ethic. At 17, he enlisted in the Army National Guard of Arizona, where he gained the title of Sergeant and served as a Firearms Instructor, competing in regional and national marksmanship competitions. After 9 years of service, he was honorably discharged in 1963.

In 1958, he began his distinguished public service career with the City of Phoenix, spanning over 37 years. In 1976, he completed construction on a custom, 3,000sf family home at the base of South Mountain, overlooking the city. As a licensed electrical contractor he co-founded Aspen Electrical Company, prior to retiring from the city.

Albert enjoyed spending time with family and friends, watching football, target shooting and barbecues. His compassionate heart led him to love and care for children, the elderly, and animals. He often sought opportunities to help those in need, generously donating his time and money.

He is survived by his loving wife, Loretta; daughters, Desiree Garcia and Monique Sermeno; 6 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren; and brother Luciano (Lucky) Garcia. He was preceded in death by his parents, Luciano and Eduarda Garcia; brothers, Edward and Alfred Garcia; sisters, Margaret Garcia, Martha Ruiz, Elva Gortarez; and his beloved son, Albert A Garcia Jr.

He will be deeply missed by his family, who cherish all the love, life lessons and beautiful memories he leaves as his life's legacy. May he rest peacefully with the Lord and those who have gone before him.
