Garcia

In Loving Memory Of

Dion H. Garcia

July 4, 1970 - January 10, 2026

Dion H. Garcia, 55, entered eternal rest on Saturday, January 10, 2026, in Los Indios, Texas.

Dion was born on July 4, 1970, to Deciderio Garcia and Ester Hernandez Garcia in Fort Myers, Florida. He was preceded in death by his father, Deciderio Garcia.

Dion is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 35 years, Melba Ruiz Garcia. Left to cherish his memory are his two daughters, Nicole (Albert Ray) Bridge and Isabel Garcia, as well as his fur-baby, Georgie. He will be dearly missed by his mother, Ester H. Garcia; his siblings, Desi (Sylvia) Garcia, Edna (Gregory) Luna, Donny Garcia, and Hila (Blue) Trevino; and by several nieces, nephews, extended family members, and communities.

Dion devoted 17 years not only as a medical assistant at Luna Medical Clinic, but also as Gregory Luna's right-hand man in the day-to-day operations of the clinic. No matter the circumstances, Dion always cracked jokes with patients and staff and greeted everyone with a smile. He took great pride in the quality of care he provided to the Port Isabel community. Patients found comfort in Dion's words and medical advice, as he treated everyone as if they were family.

There were four things Dion did not play around with: his family and friends, his Dallas Cowboys, his BBQ, and his poker. Family and friends knew that when they called Dion for help of any kind, he would drop everything and lend a helping hand—whether it was fixing things, dealing with car trouble, or simply being a shoulder to lean on. During football season, Dion could be found at home in his garage, the TV on with the NFL theme song playing in the background, as friends and family gathered while he made his famous BBQ ribs or enjoyed a beer watching his favorite team play. On Thursdays, that same garage was filled with laughter—and sometimes friendly hostility—during weekly poker games with his best friends. Dion always claimed to be the best poker player among them, followed closely by Robert Lopez and Raul Montemayor. On other days, he could be found winding down on the couch, watching TV, playing "the claw" game with his puppy Georgie, while his beloved wife Melba prepared a home-cooked meal. Dion loved his wife Melba to the moon and back and treasured spending quality time with her in the comfort of their home.

Dion will be greatly missed, but his memory will live on through the love and cherished moments shared with his family and friends throughout his life.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, January 17, 2026, at Trinity Funeral Home from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., with a service at 7:00 p.m.

Funeral services will be held on Sunday, January 18, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the Trinity Funeral Home Chapel, with burial to follow at Las Rusias Cemetery in Los Indios.
