Cristo A. Garza

Cristo A. Garza, 42, a resident of Volo, IL, passed away June 19, 2021.  He was born August 21, 1978 in Des Plaines, IL to Jose and Maria Garza.

Cristo was a loving husband, father, coach, and teacher. He could be found most days on a football field coaching, on the patio grilling, or beside his boys spending time together and having fun. His passion for life was like no other. His smile and hugs were the biggest and best around. If you were in his vicinity, you couldn't help being drawn in. His happiness and laughter were impossible to ignore.

Cristo is survived by his wife of 13 years, Jennifer Garza, his sons Gavin and Greyson Garza, his mother Maria Garza, his sister Surranda (Kolade Fajimi) Garza as well as a large loving extended family. He was preceded in death by his father.
