Gabriel G Garcia, 84, passed away at home, July 9, 2020, of natural causes. He is survived by his wife, Lynna, daughters Mary Baumann, Nancy Cateil, Patty Billingsley, and Dianna Gillmore, sister Josephine, grand and great grandchildren, niece and nephews. He is predeceased by daughter Dava Garcia Flohr.
Gabe lived life on his own terms. Having lived in Tucson, AZ for 60 years, he attended the University of Arizona as a graduate student on a National Defense scholarship, working his way up to management in the former El Rancho and Food Giant grocery stores.
Gabe was very active, even as he found himself limited after having three strokes. He spent his final years and last days working in his beloved backyard, training roses to grow straight, raking, redesigning flower beds, managing water runoff, and enjoying the bright sunshine, fresh air and blue skies.
Dad you were one of a kind. Rest in Peace. We love you!!
