One year to the day after the murder of Garcia his father Matthew Garcia sits in front of his son’s grave at the Fairmont Cemetery in Fairfied. The city has changed in many ways since the councilman’s passing and several things are being done in the Garcia’s name to improve the city. However Fairfield will never know how much Garcia could have accomplished for the community he served and the city he believed in. “We lost a leader, but we gained a legacy.” said Fairfield police chief Paul Bockrath. “In death he has galvanized a movement in our communtiy. Is it more than what he would have accomplished in life? Maybe not, but it’s powerful and important for Faifield nonetheless.”
