Jose Garcia went home to Jesus on May 26th, 2024 at the age of 93. He was born June 2, 1930 in Vila Nova Sintra Brava, Cabo Verde. Jose was the son of the late Balbina Garcia and the late Jose fanha.

Jose also leaves behind 31 grandchildren, 52 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild; many nieces and nephews, also 2 siblings. Jose was a positive happy person who loved his family more than anything. He had a contagious smile and heart of gold. He loved listening to traditional Cape Verdean music and sharing a cup of coffee with anyone that walked through his door. He valued spending time with his family and friends. He will be deeply missed by children, grandkids, sons-in-law, and daughters-in-law. This is not goodbye, it's see you later.
