In Loving Memory of Debra Ann Garcia
Sunrise: July 26, 1969 – Sunset: June 3, 2025
Age 55 | Houston, Texas
With profound sadness and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Debra Ann Garcia,
who departed this life on June 3, 2025, at the age of 55 after a courageous battle with
cancer.
Born in Houston, Texas on July 26, 1969, Debra was a proud graduate of Pasadena High
School and a loving daughter, mother, grandmother, sister, and partner. She was a resilient
soul who faced life’s hardships with strength and grace, especially after losing her father,
Manuel A. Garcia Jr., at a young age—a loss that deeply shaped her life and her family.
Debra, affectionately known as “Debo,” found joy in the simple pleasures—fishing at the
Texas City Dike, beach days in Galveston, bike rides through H-Town, and the thrill of a
game room win. But nothing brought her more happiness than time spent with her children
and grandchildren. Her love for family was endless and unwavering; they were her entire
world.
Debra also had a deep love for her pets, who brought her daily comfort and
companionship. Her loyal dog Star and her sassy cat Kiki were part of her heart and home,
and she cared for them with the same devotion she gave to all those she loved.
She is survived by her loving mother, Guadalupe Garcia; her daughters, Brittany Nicole
Reeves and Dominique Desiree Martinez; and her cherished grandchildren: Genesis
Sargento, Josiah Aguilar, Julian Aguilar, Jay Aguilar, and Jaelyn Alvarado. Debra is also
survived by her life partner, Guadalupe Jimenez, and her siblings: Theresa Campos, Diana
Garcia, Ana Lisa Garcia, and Manuel J. Garcia III.
Debra now joins her beloved father Manuel A. Garcia Jr., her grandmother Catalina Marin,
and her dear loved ones Danny Joe Martinez and niece Jennifer Marie Andrade in eternal
peace.
Debra’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. She was a light in
this world, filled with warmth, laughter, and fierce love. Her legacy lives on—in her family, in
the many lives she touched, and even in the paw prints left behind by Star and Kiki. She will
be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Although we were many miles away, we always
seemed to stay in touch. You were more than just a
friend, you were my sister. We had the best times traveling to Mexico
Texarkana, and many more places together. We
laughed together, we cried together, we were
unseperatable at one time. Then, life happened, and I
moved away. I left a piece of my heart in Pasadena
and that was you and all ur family, which I
considered as my family too. You were there for me
in my deepest, darkest, loneliest moments and also
some of my happiest. I was there when you were
diagnosed the 1st time in our 20s and watch you go
through Chemo, and hair loss, nausea, throwing up,
cant eat, in pain, i was their. We did everything
together. My teenage years were the best because
of yall. Time really does fly by, but forever will you be
in my heart. I knew the good side of you, along with
the bad and never judge, just loved. The Antique
earrings you gave me like 20 something years ago;
you said that you were giving me the earrings
because you know I would take care of them and
keep them. You were right, I still have them. I held on
to them as if it was a part of ur heart. I will miss you
dearly sister. No more pain. Until we meet again, I
will always have the lessons and memories. I love
you Debra Garcia
