Noe Salvador Garcia

It is with deep sadness that we announce the sunset of Noe Salvador Garcia, 14, on February 24, 2024, at home in Visalia, California, surrounded by his loved ones. Noe, also known as "Chunks" and "Sancudo", was born on September 20, 2009, in Visalia, California, to his loving parents, Brenda and Neo Garcia. Chunks had many hobbies and loved school. He was a high school student, and his goal was to graduate early. Thanks to his school, he was presented with his honorary high school diploma prior to his sunset. His favorite book of all time is Toy Story, with Woody and Buzz being his favorite characters. His favorite place to eat was Panda Express, and we are glad he was able to enjoy it as one of his last meals. Chunks loved bike riding with his dad, baking for his momma, walking his dogs, trying new foods with Tia Maria, swimming at his uncle's house during the summer, playing Uno with his aunt Nadia, gaming with his cousins, soccer, basketball, and camping with his Church. He enjoyed shopping sprees at Five Below with his sister, Amber. He was a very loving and protective brother who truly enjoyed caring for his baby brother, Neo Meshach, Jr, and was excited to become an uncle for the first time. Noe fought a tough battle with a brain tumor since the age of nine years old. Throughout this battle, he remained gracious and hopeful. He was truly a warrior who never gave up his battle. We thank him for all he taught us throughout his journey, for showing us what a true hero is, for showing us real strength and never allowing fear of this disease to take over. Noe had great respect for the pastor in his life, William Guerrero. Noe aspired to be like him, accepted his guidance without question, and had confidence in reaching out to him for prayer, encouragement, or simply wanting his Pastor there by his side. Noe loved the Lord, and it brings us comfort knowing he was baptized in Jesus Name in 2019 after his first diagnosis. We know he has won as he is now with the Lord. He will be forever remembered, missed, and loved, to infinity and beyond. He is survived by parents, Brenda and Neo Garcia, his siblings Maritsa Chappell, Amber Garcia, and Neo Meshach Garcia, Jr., grandparents Juventino and Juana Torres Garcia, grandfather Salvador Martinez, aunts Maria Martinez and Nadia Garcia, uncle Jose Martinez, many cousins, and other family members, who all remained by his side until his sunset. He was preceded in death by his beloved grandmother, Ambrocia Martinez, and his uncle, Noe Torres Garcia.
