Francisco "Pancho" Rene Garcia Jr- cherished husband, father, son, brother and grandfather.

Frankie was born 9/12/62 weighing 7lb 11oz, what he would say was born lucky 7/11.

Loss is such an unassuming word. It is the most devastating thing to lose or be lost… What do we do now without our rock, our king, our sun and moon and everything that is beautiful, caring and sweet in this world.

It is with profound, soul shattering, unbelievable pain and sadness that we have to announce the passing of our handsome, sweet, coolest, funniest person anyone knew. The most loving daddy, Francisco Rene Garcia Jr. Aka Pancho. He always sang to us and was always wise. "You better kiss me, cuz you're gonna miss me when I'm gone." Dad was ALWAYS right!

He worked for CCISD for 35 years, before retiring in Jan. 2011. He began his second career at Protech Mechanical, where he was still actively working. He also very proudly ran his own business Pancho's HVAC for nearly 30 years as a Licensed HVAC contractor. He wore so many hats in this lifetime. He served the Knights of Columbus at our Lady of Pilar church. He served the West Oso School Board as member Vice President and President from 1994-1999. Our Pancho with a heart of gold, always organized giveaways for less fortunate children. From Pancho Clause Operation Bear Footing, getting shoes for the West Oso district and recently Christmas wish list through ProTech.

Pancho was friends with everybody and would give you the shirt off his back. He was married to his wife of 46 years, Clara, who he loved so much and constantly wrote love letters, got her flowers, and bought her trinkets. They shared these years building a beautiful life with 3 daughters, 8 grandchildren and 1 great grandson. He loved fiercely and was there for us all in a moment's notice. He has many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, sisters and in-laws that he loved and felt connected to. We love him beyond words and this gaping hole will never be filled.

He has been preceded in death by his mother Elvia and father Frank Sr. He is survived by the love of his life Clara, his daughters Jessica (Roy), Kimberly, Elisa (Richard). Sisters Sandy (Carlos), Joann (Dee), Grace (Jon) and in laws Sarah, Anita, Alice, Lucy, Juana (Jim), Juan (Lori), Francisca (Arnop), and his brother from another Mauro(Nena). And his pride and joy grandchildren Destiny, Jadelynn, Royce, Ryan, Payge, Dexter, Gwen, Jayce and Elara.

Frank was our everything and we could never express how lucky we were to have him as ours. We were truly blessed with the absolute best, we had gold. We love you forever..until we see you again Dad.

A letter from our mother.

To the love of my life of 46 years, my heart was broken today. I am lost without you. You were my rock, my king, my everything. I will love you 4/ever. I don't know what to do without you. You were the best husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather my children and I could have ever asked for. I was the luckiest person in the world to have loved you, Frankie all our 46 years together. May God bless you and keep you safe till we see each other again.

Your love always,

Clara
