My father, Orlando Garcia Sr., passed away just a few days ago after a courageous battle with cancer. Times are already tough for so many of us, and losing my dad has made daily life even harder for me and my family. The emotional weight of his passing is something we’re still trying to process, and now we’re also facing the high costs that come with giving him the respectful farewell he deserves. That’s why I’m reaching out to friends, family, and anyone who knew my dad or our family.

The funds raised will go directly toward his services at Pittsburg Funeral Chapel, his casket, and the burial. Every dollar will help us cover these necessary expenses so we can lay my dad to rest with dignity and love. My dad had the biggest heart and the brightest smile—his spirit would light up any room, no matter where he was or what he was doing. He touched so many lives, often in ways only you might know.

If you’ve ever lost a loved one, you know how hard this time can be. Myself and my two brothers are doing our best to honor our dad’s memory, but we can’t do it alone. If you can find it in your heart to help us reach our goal, please consider donating to my dad’s GoFundMe fundraiser. Any amount, big or small, will be deeply appreciated. Thank you for your kindness, support, and for keeping the Garcia family spirit alive.
