of 48, and her husband, Jose Antonio Garcia, on May 26, 2022, at the | ||
age of 50; and | ||
WHEREAS, Irma and Joe Garcia formed a strong and lasting bond | ||
of devotion during the 25 years they shared as husband and wife; | ||
they were high school sweethearts who went on to exchange wedding | ||
vows in Uvalde on June 28, 1997, and they took immense joy in | ||
raising their four children, Lyliana, Alysandra, Cristian, and | ||
Jose; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born in San Antonio on December 11, 1973, Irma | ||

interdisciplinary studies from Sul Ross State University in 1997, | ||
she embarked on a 23-year career as an elementary teacher with the | ||
Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District; she found great | ||
fulfillment in engaging with her students and helping to set them on | ||
a path toward higher education; and | ||
WHEREAS, Joe Garcia was born in Uvalde on April 18, 1972, and | ||
was raised by his mother, Maria Garcia, along with his three | ||
siblings, Armando, Maria, and Antonio; for more than three decades, | ||
he was employed with H-E-B, where he rose from produce stocker to a | ||
position in management; throughout his career, he was admired by | ||
his colleagues for his work ethic and his drive to ensure that every | ||
task was done the right way; and | ||
WHEREAS, Irma and Joe Garcia shared an unwavering commitment | ||
to their family, to their community, and to one another, and the | ||
couple will forever remain a source of inspiration to all who were | ||
fortunate enough to know them; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature | ||
hereby pay tribute to the lives of Irma Linda and Jose Antonio | ||
Garcia and extend heartfelt condolences to the members of their | ||
family: to their children, Lyliana Analise Garcia, Alysandra | ||
Celeste Garcia, Cristian Antonio Garcia, and Jose Alejandro Garcia; | ||

Lisa Duran, Marissa Lozano, and Marcus Lozano; to Mr. Garcia's | ||
siblings, Maria G. Esparza and Armando P. Garcia; to the couple's | ||
other relatives and friends; and to the countless others in Uvalde | ||
and beyond who mourn their passing; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for their family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns | ||
this day, it do so in memory of Irma and Joe Garcia. |
