Sontu Garcia, our beloved family member, passed away on April 6, 2024 at the age of 51. He was born on June 23, 1972, in Gilroy, California. Sontu attended San Benito High School and was a multifaceted individual. His life was full of different passions and deep connections.
From his earliest days, Sontu found joy and camaraderie in the world of sports, particularly football and baseball. His love of music led him to countless concerts, and he enjoyed playing melodies on his guitar. But beyond sports and music, Sontu's intellect shone brightly through his love for chess and profound appreciation for language and the art of oratory.
Sontu cherished the bonds he shared with his brothers and held dear the timeless values instilled by his grandparents. Sontu will be deeply missed by his siblings Malachi, Leo, Julio, Sonia, Ruben, Shamika, and Aaliya, as well as by his Nana, Lydia Rubio and many cousins, Aunts and Uncles. He is preceded in death by his mother, Rachel Rubio, his father, Frank Garcia, his grandfather, Amos Rubio and his brother, Aciel Reynoso. Sontu's legacy is one of passion, intellect, and love. His spirit lives on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.
