Jose "Joe" Martin Garcia, age 77 of Seguin, passed away on June 24, 2025.  Joe was born on November 12, 1947 in Seguin, Texas, to Henrietta (Sanchez) and Encarnecion Garcia.

Joe will be remembered as a devoted 29-year employee of CMC (SMI), where he served with pride as a Maintenance General Foreman before retiring from the Shredding Department. His strong work ethic and dedication left a lasting impression on those who worked alongside him.

Outside of his career, Joe found joy in the simple and meaningful parts of life. He had a deep love for the outdoors—spending countless hours hunting, fishing, and tinkering in his backyard. Weekends were often reserved for one of his favorite pastimes: visiting flea markets, where he found treasures and shared stories with anyone who crossed his path.

He is preceded in death by his parents and sister Mary Menchaca.

Survivors include his wife of 59 years, Esther Garcia; children, Gracie Garcia, Annette Rosas and husband Thomas, Martin Garcia and wife Rhonda, and Angel Garcia; grandchildren, Amber Blake and husband Curtis, Martin Zuniga, Jr., Kaleb Zuniga, Lauren Rosas, Cameron Rosas, and Tristan Garcia; six great-grandchildren; siblings, Conrad Garcia, Philip Garcia, Jimmy Garcia and wife, Angie, and Estella Tijerina; brother-in-law, Juan Menchaca; numerous nieces, nephews, other loving family members and many friends.

A memorial visitation will be held on Wednesday, July 2, 2025 at Tres Hewell Mortuary Chapel from 5 to 7 p.m.
