Gilbert Garcia Garza

Gilbert was born in Calallen, Texas. Growing up, he split his time between Calallen and Houston, TX. He ultimately planted his roots in Waco, TX. During his time there, Gilbert and his wife Mary were together for 36 years and raised their two children.

Gilbert was a man of many traits, from serving in the United States Army, being a security in the prison system, and Color right. He ultimately retired from the Waco Transit System.

He loved and enjoyed cooking, fishing, dancing, watching T.V, drawing, and most of all he loved his family and friends. He enjoyed making everyone laugh.

Let us put aside our sorrows and rejoice in knowing he is now made whole again.

Gilbert is preceded in death by his wife Mary Garza, his parents, Elvia Gutierrez and Guadalupe Sr. Along with his stepfather Oscar Z. Gutierrez, his siblings Joe Gutierrez, Guadalupe Jr., Juan Garza, Ana Maria Ceballos, and his grandson Zion Flores.

Gilbert is survived by his children, Ann Garza and Robert Garza Sr., his grandchildren, Robert Garza Jr., and Eliana Garza. Along with his siblings, Ramona Martinez, Noe Garza, Ninfa Lopez, Sylvia Herick, Daniel Gutierrez, Noema Gutierrez, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
