It is with heavy hearts that we honor the life of John Garcia, a beloved member of our community whose steadfast leadership and warm spirit left a lasting imprint. As the owner of NextHome Edgewater Realty, John dedicated his professional life to guiding others through one of life’s most significant journeys — the search for home. In his role, he combined expertise with genuine care, demonstrating that business can be a place of compassion as much as commerce.
John’s journey was not without challenge. After a serious illness, he fought with courage and grace. His resilience in the face of hardship reflected the character he displayed every day: integrity, kindness, and the willingness to serve. His passing leaves a mark of sorrow, but also a legacy of dignity and purpose.
What made John truly special was the way he saw people. Houses were more than transactions to him — they were the settings for families’ lives, memories, and futures. He listened, understood, and cared. Whether helping a first-time buyer or supporting a long-time homeowner, John approached each moment with thoughtful attention and a generous heart.
To his family, friends, colleagues, and clients: please accept our deepest condolences. Know that many stand alongside you in grief and in gratitude. We remember John not only for what he accomplished, but for how he showed up — steady, compassionate, present. In his memory we find both sadness at his passing and affirmation of a life lived well.
As a community, we can honor John’s legacy by continuing the work he believed in: by being honest, by serving others, by treating every person with respect and care. His life reminds us that success is not measured only in deals closed or titles transferred, but in the lives touched and the trust earned.
Rest in peace, dear John. Your influence remains in the people you helped, the homes you touched, and the community you lifted. May your memory be a blessing now and always.
With heartfelt sympathy and enduring respect.
