The family of Albino Garcia, 56, has requested the assistance of the Patriot Guard Riders in honoring their Hero on the occasion of his Final Military Honors at Riverside National Cemetery. We will proudly accommodate that request.
Our Hero served in the USMC from 1994-1998. He was an admin clerk stationed in Okinawa. At the time of his honorable discharge, he was a Corporal (E-4).
Following his military service, Albino continued serving, first as a Juvenile Probation Officer and later as a Deputy Sheriff in Orange County. When he retired from the department, he started a small business deep cleaning commercial kitchens.
He enjoyed playing team sports and was a successful youth baseball, football and soccer coach. He was a man of faith and was very active in his church and its youth programs.
Albino was born in Santa Maria del Oro, Nayarit, Mexico in 1968. He was raised in Long Beach. Our hero met the love of his life, Dinorah, introduced to him by a cousin while visiting from Mexico.
Our Hero is survived by his wife of 29 years, Dinorah Garcia, and their three sons: Alex DeMarcos, Aaron Daniel, and Adam Diego Garcia.
