Andrew was born and raised in the Temple and Central Texas Area. He worked for Delta Centrifugal for 25 years. He was a faithful member of Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church. Mr. Garcia loved to be outside and to go fishing whenever he could with friends and family. He enjoyed cooking and grilling for any occasion. He had a 1957 Chevy that he was extremely proud of and loved to take his grandkids and nieces and nephews for rides. Andrew was famous for his sense of humor and how he loved to give everyone a hard time. From nicknames to good jokes he was always surrounded by laughter everywhere he went. Mr. Garcia had never met a stranger and was a friend to everyone. Above all else Andrew was a family man. There was no greater treasure in life than his beloved family. He loved to take his family on trips to the beach and on cruises. Without a doubt Andrew lived life to the fullest. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
