Rudy was born in Pecos, Texas, to Manuel and Dolores Lara Garcia on Aug. 2, 1956. He was a graduate of Pecos High School. He married the love of his life, Frances Hartnett Garcia, on Sept. 8, 2001, in Marfa, Texas.

He worked for Texas Disposal. Rudy was a jack of all trades. He was a very busy man, wearing many different hats, from working at Magoo’s as the “menudo man,” to doing yard landscaping. Rudy would always have a smile on his face, and go out of his way to greet and help others.

He is survived by his loving wife Frances Garcia; step son Jeremy Hartnett; step grandson Ezekiel Hartnett; sisters Beckey Harcrow and Rosie Leyva (John); and numerous nieces and nephews.

Pallbearers will be Leo Sotelo, Richard Villanueva, Jr., Cornelio “Cony” Vega, Jeremy Hartnett, Esai Leyva, and Ezekiel Hartnett.

Honorary pallbearers will be John Jaramillo, Sal Torres, John Salgado, Christopher Jaramillo, and Ross Skelton.
