On July 28th, our beloved Ricky Garcia passed away unexpectedly due to health complications, following an incredibly stressful time during which his mother, Rosie, was rushed to the hospital . Just days earlier, Ricky had been by her side, worrying for her well-being, something he always did for those he loved.

Ricky was more than a son. He was a devoted father, grandfather, uncle, brother, and a true friend to many. Known for his sense of humor, generous heart, and unwavering loyalty to family, Ricky lit up every room he entered and left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege to know him. His sudden passing has left our family shattered and struggling to come to terms with the loss.

At the same time, Rosie remains hospitalized and will require round-the-clock care moving forward. She will no longer be able to live independently, especially after the devastating loss of her son.

We are raising funds to help cover the cost of Ricky’s cremation and celebration of life, and to ensure Rosie receives the continuous care she will need for the rest of her life. The emotional and financial toll of losing Ricky while caring for Rosie has been overwhelming. As we navigate this incredibly difficult time—grieving, making arrangements, and managing the impossible logistics—we are humbly turning to our community for support.

If you are able, we ask for your help. No amount is too small—every dollar counts and is deeply appreciated. Whether you're able to donate or share this campaign, your kindness means the world to us.

Thank you for standing with us and helping carry the weight of this unimaginable moment. Your support brings comfort and light during the darkest of times.

With love and gratitude,

The Garcia, Beinhorn and Santiago Families
