John Garcia

John Raymond Garcia passed away Friday, Dec. 4, 2009, at St. Luke's Magic Valley Medical Center in Twin Falls, Idaho. John was born May 7, 1954, to Ledio Garcia and Frances Borjon in San Francisco, Calif. He grew up and attended school in Santa Clara, Calif. In 1994, he moved with his wife, Karen, and his children to Twin Falls, Idaho. John and Karen have been married for 32 years and together they have raised five children. John was employed by Land O' Lakes for 12 years. John had a very loving nature. He treasured the special times with his grandchildren, loved all people unconditionally and was dedicated to his family. He loved to spend time riding his Harley "Molly," shooting pool and playing Chess and spending time with his friends. John's distinct laugh and "forget about it" attitude are never to be forgotten. We will miss him but have many happy memories to cherish. Surviving John is his wife, Karen Garcia of Twin Falls; son, Christopher Garcia of New Mexico; son, Nicholas Garcia of Oakley, Calif.; daughters, Jessica Garcia and Jaclyn Secord; and son, Nathan Garcia, all of Twin Falls; one brother, David Garcia of Brentwood, Calif.; mother, Frances Borjon of Sunnyvale, Calif.; and numerous grandchildren. His father, Ledio Garcia, and brother, Theodore "Ted" Garcia, preceded him in death. A celebration of John's life will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 10, the Garcia home. Arrangements are under the direction of the Parke's Magic Valley Funeral Home of Twin Falls.
