Eduardo Garcia

October 20, 2020

Eduardo Garcia, 80, of Middletown, NY, succumbed to illness at Garnet Health Medical Center on October 26, 2020. He was visited by his family just before passing peacefully. Eduardo is survived by his wife Judy of 56 years, children Ed Garcia and his wife Lisa of Westtown, NY, Rich Garcia and his wife Carla of Beacon, NY and Mike Garcia and his wife Megan of Bethel, CT; his grandchildren Eddie Garcia and his wife Stephanie, Alex Garcia, Chrissy (his first “gir”) Murray and her husband Ryan, Jimmy Garcia, Johnny Garcia, Christian Garcia, Nicholas Garcia, Julia Garcia and Audrey Garcia, as well as loving friends and extended family. Eduardo was a loving father, husband, grandfather, and friend to everyone. Eduardo loved music and sports, especially baseball, where his favorite team was the New York Mets until he finally came to his senses and became a Yankee Fan. He worked for the State of New York for 20 years, dedicating most of his career to helping the disabled. He spent the best of times watching his sons, and many of his unofficially adopted sons, play sports in Haverstraw, NY. He was a 3rd Degree Honorary Life member of the Knights of Columbus Council 581 where he was the financial secretary for many years participating in many events to help the community. A special thank you to the people at Hospice of Orange and Sullivan counties for their loving care and support during his final days. Unfortunately, due the pandemic, the family will not be holding any public services at this time. I lieu of sending flowers, please make a donation to Eduardo’s favorite charity, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
