Vincent “Vince” Garcia

Vincent “Vince” Garcia of Arnold, beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, father-in-law, and friend, closed his eyes in eternal rest on August 14, 2021.

Vince was born on July 28, 1932 in St. Louis, MO to Cecelia Mary Garcia (nee Polley) and John Baptist Garcia.

On May 1, 1980, Vince married Marcelline “Marcy” Ann Cantoni. Vince was father to Tim, Jim, Ken, and Kim Crider as well as grandfather and great-grandfather to many.

A true “Sea Bee,” Vince said his time in the US Navy was one of the best decisions he ever made. He enjoyed working with the VFW for as long as his health would permit. He also enjoyed motorcycle trips with Marcy and meeting at Denny’s with his friends.

He is preceded in death by his brother, Donald Garcia and Uncle Joe Polley; his parents; and his beloved wife, Marcy.

There will be a service at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery on August 27, 2021 at 1:00 PM.
