David “Strawboss” Garcia

November 13, 1959 - September 1, 2025

David, born on November 13, 1959 in Dimmitt, Texas to Alicia Carranco and Jesus Tapia Garcia. He was a great son and a wonderful brother. On September 1st he went home to be with our Lord and Savior leaving behind a legacy that will echo through the hearts of those who knew him. He was a graduate of Tuloso Midway High school. He had a great work ethic and had a multiple array of skills from scaffold building, machinist, pipe fitter, crew supervisor just to name a few.

He was as loyal a friend that anyone could ever hope to have. A friend that you could always count on to be there if you were ever in need.

Most of his free time was spent fishing. Through wind and rain or the heat of the scorching sun you could always find him fishing in some body of water. The beach, lake or river, it didn’t matter to him he would be casting a line or crabbing at Labonte Park.

David is survived by his sisters; Mary Gonzales, Graciela Garcia, Beatrice Garcia and Theresa ( Joe ) Mazzurco. He is also survived by his best friend and partner in crime his brother Raymond Garcia and his long term girl friend Norma Castillo, each heart touched by his unique presence. He is preceded in death by his mother Alicia Carranco and Father Jesus Tapia Garcia whose memory will forever be cherished.

These moments of remembrance will allow all who knew him to share in the love, laughter and stories that painted the portrait of a remarkable man who will be sorely missed but fondly remembered.

He will always be remembered for his favorite saying “ Nombre, Chattt Upppp !!!!!!!!
