On the morning of Sunday, November 2, 2025, Pedro went to be with the Lord. He was born on August 20, 1957, to Guadalupe and Luz Garza in Slaton, Texas. Later in life on March 13, 1976, Pedro went on to marry Antonia Estrada in Lubbock cherishing forty-nine years of a loving marriage.

Pedro dedicated himself to his career as a farmer for Alan and Amy West Farms, a profession he cherished deeply. His commitment to the land and the fruits of his labor showcased not just a career, but a way of life that brought him immense joy and fulfillment.

Those who knew Pedro remember will remember him as a very private person, yet there was an undeniable warmth in his interactions. His heart swelled with pride and happiness during moments spent with his family, especially when his grandchildren were around. Known as the “grumpy grandpa,” he had a special way of playing with the little ones that created laughter and joy, leaving them with fond memories to cherish.

Pedro found happiness in the simple pleasures of life. Music filled his heart; he had a profound love for all kinds of tunes that accompanied him through the days. The sounds of songs transformed ordinary moments into extraordinary ones, surrounding him with the warmth of memories that he held dear. Moreover, his appetite, especially his sweet tooth, was well-known to those close to him. He loved to host cookouts and his love for candies brought out a playful side that was often shared in cherished family gatherings.

Pedro is survived by his loving family, who will carry forward his legacy of kindness and resilience. As we gather to celebrate his life, let us remember the incredible moments shared with him—the laughter, the music, the warm embraces, and the sweetness of life that was his trademark.
