Fernando's obituary

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of a unique and exceptional man, Fernando Garza. Fernando was born on January 21, 1943, and sadly left us on May 4, 2025. He was a man who lived his life with passion, loyalty, and a notable sense of humor. An unyielding worker, Fernando was a shining example of devotion, illustrating kindness and love in every aspect of his life.

Fernando leaves behind a heartbroken family who will keep his memory alive. He is survived by his wife, Chello Garza, to whom he was married since they were just seventeen. His daughters, Irma Garza, Susanna Rhoder, Yolanda Heddington, Veronica Garza, will continue to cherish their memories of him. His grandchildren, Rabekkah Salazar, Armani Perales, Nicholas Rhoder, and Amanda Rhoder will remember their grandfather's loving and kind nature. Tragically, Fernando was predeceased by his son, Fernando Garza, his granddaughter, Bethany Perales, his father, Fernando Garza, and his brother, Fernando Garza.

Throughout his life, Fernando was a beacon of determination and diligence. He worked at the same company for over 30 years, showcasing his dedication and hard work. His passion for travel took him all around the world, and his love for collecting brought him joy and satisfaction. Of all his accomplishments, Fernando was most proud of his large and loving family.

Fernando was a man who believed in the power of kindness. His greatest lesson to the world was to be kind above all things. This principle was not merely a spoken mantra but a lived reality, seen in his interactions with family, friends, and even strangers.

His legacy is one of love, joy, and kindness. The impact of Fernando's life will continue to be felt by all who knew him. His laughter, cheerfulness, and unwavering sense of kindness will be deeply missed, especially by his family and close friends. His memory will live on in those he cherished, and his spirit will forever remain in our hearts.
