Gene Andrew Garcia of Grand
Junction, Colorado, passed away
January 21, 2020, surrounded by
his family.
Gene was born in Grand
Junction to Isidore and Rosie
Garcia. He grew up with his
brothers, Teddy and Mark,
playing the game of baseball.
That love for the game carried
through to his adult life where
he made many friends playing softball. In addition to his time on
the field, Gene shared his love of the game by coaching his son,
Trey. He was an amazing coach and mentor to not only Trey and his
nieces and nephews, but to so many other kids. Gene could always
be found at a baseball field, softball field, or on the golf course, and
he wasn’t afraid to tell you he had perfected “the slice”.
Gene would do anything to help out family and friends. He was
a friend to all and his infectious smile made everyone feel loved.
Through all of that, Gene was never afraid to “stir the pot”. We will
never forget his trademark giggle. He was bigger than life and loved
the same way.
Gene is survived by his wife of 22 years, Charity; son, Trey;
parents, Isidore and Rosie; brother, Mark (Bree); sister-in-law,
Linda; parents-in-law, Ralph and Kim (Dave); sister-in-law,
Michelle Young; brother-in-law, Brian Young (Amie); many uncles,
aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews. We find comfort in knowing
that Gene is with his brother, Teddy, coaching from Heaven.

Saturday, January 25, from 5 - 7:00 p.m. There will be a memorial
