Villa, Gilbert (Javí) Garcia 83, of Glendale, AZ, went peacefully to his heavenly home, with his loving family by his side, on March 13, 2014.
His deep faith in God, love of life, and infectious smile, provided him with the strength and will to live. He fought the good fight and his legacy will be felt for generations to come. He built many relationships through his unselfish willingness to help others.

An ASU football and Phoenix Suns Basketball fan, he also enjoyed deep sea fishing and camping. We will forever miss you and keep your love in our hearts as we celebrate your life.
