Joe Daniel Garcia went to be with our Lord on June 4, 2026, leaving behind a family who loves him deeply. Joe was a devoted son and a quiet, private man whose presence brought comfort, laughter, and joy to those who knew him best.

Joe was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Rebecca and Daniel F. Maes; Annie Martinez; Pat and Josie Romero; his beloved brother, Marcus M. Montano; his paternal grandfather, Joe “Tycoon” Garcia; and his great-grandmother, Clorinda Garcia. He was also preceded in death by his uncles Ralph (Frances) and Bernie Garcia, his cousin Bernadette Garcia.

Joe was a son, father, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend to many.

He loved sports, especially basketball, both playing and watching the game. He was an avid fan of the Boston Celtics and a lifelong supporter of the Raiders. Joe also enjoyed video games, listening to music, and spending time with family. At family gatherings, you could always find him laughing, joking, and creating memories with his loved ones.

Joe was employed by Graybar Electric Supply in Albuquerque. His coworkers and friends at Graybar remember him as an excellent employee who was dependable, trustworthy, and respected by those who worked alongside him.

Joe is survived by his daughter, Esmeralda; his sister, Jasmine; and her children, Josiah and Rebecca “Phia,” whom Joe adored. He is also survived by his parents, Kathy Maes and Jerome “Cuate” Garcia. Joe and his father shared a love of sports and were looking forward to attending a WWE event together this month.
