Leon Garcia was born in Dallas, Texas on January 24, 1934 and passed away peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones on January 29, 2022 in Heath, Texas at 88 years old. He is remembered as a true hero, and an example to all who knew him. He lived life on his own terms and always put his family first. He never stopped working to provide for and protect his family, spending most of his life as a printer who worked for Dallas Morning News, and eventually owning his own Printing shop. He loved fishing when he could, and will be dearly missed by his loving family who carries his legacy.
Leon is survived by his sons; Leon Jr and Ann Garcia, Vincent and Marilyn Garcia, Chris Garcia, and Gabriel Garcia, daughters; Monica and Jason Hall, Miranda Garcia, and Camille Garcia, nineteen grandchildren, twenty-four great grandchildren, and a host of extended family and friends. He was preceded by his mother, Martina Garcia; and son Martin Garcia.
