Robert E. Garza
Fishing & Hunting were his passion, especially with his brother Dickey, family and friends. Anytime he could, he would take a trip out to the coast or the ranch for a little fun. He also enjoyed traveling to the valley for holidays and special occasions.
Bobby was a die-hard sports fan. His favorite teams were the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Cowboys. As true fan, his motto was “Win, Lose or Tie, I’m a Fan ‘til I Die.” He was an avid music lover and a collector of Beatles music and memorabilia. He considered the Beatles the greatest musical group of all time. – “There are places I’ll remember All my life, though some have changed…”- John Lennon & Paul McCartney
In the last few years, he was a fighter, a true warrior and was determined to live life to its fullest. And that he did.
Bob is preceded in death by his parents, Eddie & Grace Garza of Mission. He is one (#4) of eight children and is survived by six sisters and one brother: Gloria (Gutierrez) and Linda (Alaniz) from San Antonio, Cynthia (Tom) Weber from Corpus Christi, Iris (Moises) Iglesias from Mission, Richard Garza from Corpus Christi, Mary (Ray) Flores from Mission and Christine Garza from Corpus Christi. He is also loved by numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews living throughout the country.
