Danny crossed my mind many times over the years. We shared middle school and high school memories, and he was someone I always remembered as kind and genuine. I searched for him more than once, hoping life would give us the chance to reconnect. Knowing that chance is now gone is truly heartbreaking. My heart aches for his family, his wife, and his son. He was a beautiful soul who left a lasting impression on those who knew him.

It’s taken me a long time to be able to write this. SSG Garcia was the true definition of humanity. For someone like me, a Muslim and an african and an immigrant, who was struggling and disillusioned, he played a role in keeping me here still. I never got to thank him for helping me stay alive. He was my humble Squad Leader, and he helped me solve a few issues nobody cared to get to the bottom of or saw as insignificant. I love you! Always in my heart, big sarge!

SSG Garcia was the best leader I had the pleasure of working with. He always took care of those around him and I am so grateful for him. May he always rest in peace, and I offer my deepest condolences to his family.

My favorite memory of lil Danny was when he was just a baby he’d cry and I’d hold him and sing to him with the music playing so loud and he’d always fall so fast asleep. This is how I knew I wanted to be a mom. Then to watch him play with my boys years later made my heart so full. I have so many I could share but this is my absolute favorite. He was and will always be my baby. Love you all so much and we are here with you all. love the Monroe’s.

Mis más sentido pésame soila. Mis oraciones para ti y toda tu familia.
