Antonio "Tony"

Garza Jr.

Antonio "Tony" Garza, Jr., age 68, of Austin, Texas, passed away peacefully at home on November 6, 2026. His beloved wife, Urania, his daughter, Emily, and his sister, Barbara, were lovingly by his side when he passed.

Tony was born on August 6, 1958, in Seguin, Texas, to Soledad (Soto) and Antonio Garza, Sr. He grew up in a large family with seven sisters and three brothers, sharing the special bonds and memories that come with a close-knit family.

Tony and Urania were married on June 6, 2001, in Aguascalientes, Mexico. They shared 25 years of marriage, building a life together filled with love and memories. One of Tony's greatest joys and proudest moments was seeing his daughter, Emily, graduate from the University of Colorado Boulder just a few months before his passing. Her accomplishment brought him tremendous happiness and pride.

Tony graduated from Seguin High School in 1976. He was self-employed and owned and operated G&G Imports. During his earlier years, Tony also produced a television show in Austin called Tejano Nights, where he showcased Tejano music videos and introduced viewers to Tejano artists, sharing his appreciation for the music and culture he enjoyed.

Tony will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by those whose lives he touched. He is survived by his devoted wife, Urania, and his beloved daughter, Emily. He is also survived by his sisters, Beatrice Salazar, Julia McCracken, Mary Toni Castillo, Dora (Robert) Luna, Hope Gray, and Barbara (Ysidoro) Barrientos; and his brother, Albert (Margaret) Garza.

Tony was preceded in death by his parents, Antonio and Soledad Garza, Sr.; his sister, Alicia Hernandez; his brothers, Joe Garza and Roberto (Bobby) Garza; his nephews, Raphael Salazar and Christian Barrientos; and his nieces, Erica Luna and Christina Garza.

A private graveside service for family will be held at Guadalupe Valley Memorial Park at a later date, with Reverend Rudy Salazar, Tony's nephew, officiating.

Though Tony's passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who loved him, the memories he created, the music he shared, and the love he gave to his family will continue to live on. He will forever be remembered and cherished by those who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.
