Luis Garcia Medina, age 70; passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 17, 2020 at his home in Chicago Illinois; surrounded by his loving family. Luis was born in La Soledad, Durango, México. Dear son of †Adelaido García and †Roberta García.Dear brother of †Nena García, Herlinda García, Sabás García, Rubén García and Josefina Rivera. Dear husband of Magdalena (Ruiz Rodriguez) García. Dear Father of Patricia (José) Peña, Maribel Gálvez, Luis Jr. (María Silvia Ríos) García. and Adrián García. Dear grandfather of José Peña Jr. (Diane Terraza), Andrew Peña, Diego Gálvez, Arturo Gálvez, Julissa Gálvez, Cristian L García, Alexander García, Natalie I.

Luis García was a compassionate person towards his family and he showed his love to them in his unique way, leaving only good memories. Luis liked to pamper his family and friends with his ‘Discadas’ and Chicharrones he perfected the way he prepared them. Luis was caring and generous with his children, motivating them to earn their own money, during the season of Pecans they worked picking Pecans, rewarding them $1 for every bucket filled. Luis also cared about the well-being of his children and protected them from any person or thing who threaten to harm them. As they recall a time a teacher hit one of his children; he then went to the teacher and threaten to beat him for hurting his child and that teacher never raised a hand to any of his children. Luis wasn’t very affectionate, but he did share his love for his family in his own unique way. Luis had a hard life as a child growing up and had a strong work ethic; he always worked to the bone.
Luis will always be in the heart and memory of his family and friends.
