Sergio Garza Soto

Sergio Garza Soto Jr. was born on November 9, 1970, in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas, to Emma Garza Soto and Jose Sergio Garza. As a child, Sergio's family relocated to Dallas, Texas, where he spent his formative years and received his education. He attended Thomas Jefferson High School, where he made cherished memories and graduated with a solid foundation for his future endeavors.

After high school, Sergio embarked on his journey into the field of healthcare, earning a nursing degree. In his professional life, Sergio found fulfillment working for many years with the City of Irving, where he served as a supervisor in the roads division. He took pride in his work, striving to make the roads safer and more efficient for the citizens of Irving. His commitment to public service left a lasting impact on the community he served.

Outside of his professional duties, Sergio had a keen eye for hidden treasures and a knack for turning discarded items into valuable finds. He enjoyed scouring flea markets, particularly favoring the Henderson Street Flea Market, where he relished the thrill of the hunt. He also  found immense joy in scouring garage sales for hidden treasures. Sergio believed that one person's unwanted items could become another person's prized possession, and he took pleasure in refurbishing and reselling goods to eager buyers.

Despite his Texas roots, Sergio held a special affection for Monterey, Mexico, where his mother's family resided. He often proudly claimed Monterey as his hometown, cherishing the cultural heritage and familial connections it represented.

As a father, Sergio was a pillar of strength for his sons, Sergio, Jordan, and Ivan Garza. He instilled in them the values of hard work and resilience, shaping them into capable  individuals. Like his mother, though his discipline may have been firm at times, it was always tempered with unwavering love and guidance.

Sergio shared a deep bond with his beloved mother, Emma, whom he held in high regard. Her influence played a significant role in shaping his kind-hearted nature and unwavering dedication to his family.

On March 28, 2024, Sergio Garza Soto Jr. departed from this world unexpectedly, leaving behind a legacy of love, compassion, and service. He is survived by his sons, Sergio, Jordan, and Ivan Garza, as well as his cherished granddaughter, Lexie Lucia. Though he is no longer with us, Sergio's memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him, and he is welcomed home by his parents, Emma and Jose Sergio Garza, who preceded him in death.
