On Thursday January 14, 2021, Jesse Armando Garcia, our loving son, brother, father and friend to many, passed away at the age of 48. We all knew that Mando was terribly ill, and that this day could soon come, but it still seems unfair to know that he is gone now, and still, too soon. But there is never a right time when you lose a loved one, no matter the situation. What gives us comfort is knowing that he is in heaven, no longer suffering or in pain. Knowing Mando, he first said his hello's and gave his big hugs to dad, both sets of grandparents, many cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends. Then he said, hey guys, I need to go for now. I've gotta go fishing with my dad. It's been a while... I can only imagine that before God came to call him, he made a huge announcement first, something like this: Ok, everyone gather round. Now, we all knew this time would come eventually. The angels looked perplexed. Then God said, today, I am bringing Mando home. And the angels were like, oh Lord, are you sure about that? Then God looked a little perplexed. The angels proceeded to say, you know Lord, he still needs to be there for Braden, McKayla, Austin, and Andrea. And when his family or his friends need to hear his voice, see his smile, or get that big hug, that he gives them when they need it. God smiled and said...Yep, I got this guys...Mando reached out to me, to let me know, that he was tired, and he was ready. But he also said to me, before you take me home Lord. I know this is going to be hard for my kids, my beloved mother and my brothers and sisters, too. So, if you could just watch over them for me, I would forever be so grateful. Then God said... I've got your back Mando. Your love, your spirit and your memories will live on in their hearts and minds forever. You will always be their guardian Angel. Then all at once, the angels shouted hallelujah, bring your son home. And all together they rejoiced and sang with so much love and joy. When he finally showed up. They all went to him with open arms and said, Mando, we've been expecting you. Armando was born on a Thursday, March 30, 1972 in Burley, Idaho, to Jesse and Hope Garcia. He was raised in Nampa, Idaho. And was a graduate of Nampa High School, class of 1991. After graduating, he enlisted and served in the United States Marine Corps. After years of serving in the Military. He later retired from the Military after coming back to Nampa. Where he was then employed with several different companies. He met and later married Pearl Guisasola in July 1998 through July 1999. They welcomed their son Braden in July of 1999. Later in 1999, he met Amy Bridgewater and became father to her twins, Austin, and Andrea Thompson. And in April of 2002, they welcomed their daughter McKayla. In May of 2006, he, and Amy, were married until August of 2011. During this time, he also attended ITT Technical School for criminal justice. He finally found his niche working as a Repo and Bails Enforcement Agent. This was in his blood and he loved his job. He also loved to go fishing, hunting, camping and just hanging out with his friends. For all of you who knew Mando, know how much he loved, cared, and always talked about his kids. Mando also loved and cared so much for his dog Ruger. He was also the type of guy who would do anything for anyone with a smile, regardless of his situation. He also loved and cared about his friends and family. Mando, you will be greatly missed by all who knew you. But we know that you will always be with us. Until we meet again little brother...
