IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Jun 18, 1930 — Jun 3, 2025
Armando R. Garcia–beloved husband, father, and grandfather–passed away in his home at the age of 95 on June 3, 2025, surrounded by his loving family in Hollister, California.
Armando was born in Camargo Tamaulipas, Mexico, in a once-quaint village called San Francisco. Born to Mexico-natives in 1930, he began working on his father's ranch as a young child, spending his time farming. In this village is where he would meet his future wife, whom he would marry in Texas before venturing to California in search of work. Armando worked and retired as a mechanic at the local Hollister cannery.
When not enthusiastically devoted to his automotive work, Armando spent his free time as an avid smoker and reader, drawn to Western novels and films. A kind and sociable man, Armando was always willing to offer a helping hand to friends and family in need of miscellaneous repair assistance, from mechanical to carpentry. Above all, spending time with his friends and family exceeded all of his favorite trades, maintaining close contact even with his kinfolk back in Mexico and Texas.
Armando is survived by his wife, Antonia, alongside 6 adult children: Jose (Donna), Roberto (Rosa), Jesus (Julie), Jaime (Vanessa), Norma (Joseph) De Jesus, and Julie (Raymond) Ramos; and his sisters, Magdalena (Armando) Terrazas and Elia (decd. Oscar) Garza. He was preceded in death by his parents, Eutiquio and Herminia, and two sisters, Virginia and Benilde. Finally, he leaves behind many loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as numerous beloved nephews and nieces.
A bilingual memorial service will be held at St. Benedict's Catholic Church, located at 1200 Fairview Rd, Hollister, CA, on June 27, 2025 at 11 a.m. Family and friends are invited to honor his life and legacy. Interment is to follow after the mass at St. Benedict's Church. Reception will be held at the Garcia residence.
Armando R. García–amado esposo, padre y abuelo–falleció en su casa a la edad de 95 años el 3 de junio de 2025, rodeado de su amada familia en Hollister, California.
Armando nació en Camargo, Tamaulipas, México, en un pueblo que antaño era pintoresco llamado San Francisco. Hijo de mexicanos, nació en 1930 y, de niño, comenzó a trabajar en el rancho de su padre, dedicándose a la agricultura. En este pueblo conoció a su futura esposa, con quien se casaría en Texas antes de aventurarse a California en busca de trabajo. Armando trabajó y se jubiló como mecánico en la canería local de Hollister.
Cuando no estaba dedicado con entusiasmo a su trabajo automotriz, Armando dedicaba su tiempo libre a ser un ávido fumador y lector, atraído por las novelas y películas del Western. Hombre amable y sociable, Armando siempre estaba dispuesto a ayudar a sus amigos y familiares que necesitaban asistencia con reparaciones diversas, desde mecánica hasta carpintería. Sobre todo, pasar tiempo con sus amigos y familiares superaba todas sus ocupaciones favoritas, manteniendo un contacto cercano incluso con sus parientes en México y Texas.
A Armando le sobreviven su esposa, Antonia, y sus seis hijos adultos: José (Donna), Roberto (Rosa), Jesús (Julia), Jaime (Vanessa), Norma (Joseph) De Jesús y Julie (Raymond) Ramos; y sus hermanas, Magdalena (Armando) Terrazas y Elia (fallecido Oscar) Garza. Le precedieron en la muerte sus padres, Eutiquio y Herminia, y sus dos hermanas, Virginia y Benilde. Finalmente, deja numerosos nietos y bisnietos cariñosos, así como numerosos sobrinos y sobrinas queridos.
