Patrick Anthony Garcia, the son of Anthony and Marian Garcia, was born on May 18, 1987 in Long Beach, California. He went home to be with the Lord on January 18, 2013 at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Missouri with his mother and father by his side. Patrick's death was the result of injuries sustained in a vehicle accident. Patrick attended New Covenant Academy Christian Schools of Springfield and graduated from Glendale High School in 2006. He was enrolled in the welding program at Ozarks Technical College and was employed as a parts delivery driver for Auto Zone. Patrick had a big heart and a big smile - he was an encourager to his family and friends. His friends say he was always there to listen to them. He loved hanging out with his friends, going to movies, buying and selling older cars, hunting for deer and turkey and eating out - especially sushi. Patrick's passing will leave a large void in the lives of those who knew and loved him. We will miss him every day of our lives. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, Isobel Kilpatrick, his paternal grandmother, Stella Garcia Levy and his uncle, Gary Kilpatrick. He is survived by his son, Anthony Patrick Garcia of Webb City, Mo, his father and mother, Anthony and Marian Garcia, two sisters: Debbie and husband Randy Clarkson, Tammy and husband Chris Eyrich, two brothers, Tony and wife Lauri Garcia, Brian and wife Ema Garcia and uncle, Bruce Kilpatrick. He is also survived by nephews and nieces - Myke, Jason, Robert, A. J., Becky, Rachel, Logan, Kayla, Joey and Dane. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Brain Injury Association of America (biausa.org) to assist survivors of traumatic brain injury.
