After a strong and brave fight with illness, it is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Chris Garza. Chris passed peacefully, surrounded by the people who loved him most—his family.

Chris’s sudden passing has left his family grieving and seeking support to help cover the cost of his final services.

Chris always wanted to have a place where he could be remembered—a place his family and loved ones could visit, gather, and feel close to him for years to come.

A majority of the funds raised will go toward finding and securing a beautiful burial plot for Chris, creating a permanent place for his loved ones to visit, reflect, and honor his life.

We want to honor Chris’s wishes and give him the farewell he wanted in a celebration of life. Family and loved ones can come together to remember him, share stories, laugh, cry, and enjoy good food—something Chris was always passionate about.

More than anything, Chris loved being surrounded by the people he cared about. He valued time together, good food, and making memories with the people he loved, and we want his celebration of life to reflect exactly that.

Any funds remaining after covering the cost of his services will be set aside for Chris’s sweet daughter, Rosie, to help support her as she moves forward without her dad.

Chris meant so much to so many people, and his loss has left an unimaginable hole in our hearts. We are asking for any support you may be able to give, whether through a donation or simply by sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, and community. Thank you for helping us honor Chris, respect his wishes, and give our family the opportunity to come together to celebrate the life he lived, the memories he created, and the love he gave us all.
