VERNON E. Wednesday, August 22, at 7:00pm a Rosary wake will be held at Church of The Incarnation in Rio Rancho; Funeral Mass on Thursday morning 9:30am with reception immediately following at Vernon's Steakhouse on 4th Street. Our loving husband, daddy, papa and best friend went to be with our dear Heavenly Father on Sunday morning. Vernon remains here in the hearts of many, but especially his mother, Selina Garcia (90) and his most beloved wife Angel. His greatest joys in life were his five children: Christopher Ryan Myrick and wife Eliana and Josh, Christian Mateo Garcia and wife Char'let, Michael O'Conner Myrick and wife Alycia, and Daddy's baby girls Brittany Anne-Marie Garcia and Veronica Selina Garcia. Papa's happiest times were playing with his three granddaughters Elizabeth Anne-Marie Garcia Sanders, Emma Rose Garcia Evangel, and Moriah Nicole Myrick, they truly were the apples of his eye. God came for Vernon ten years ago and Vernon wasn't ready to go home so he blessed us with the most incredible years a family can have. The friends and family that have touched our lives and made our world complete are too numerous to mention but please know in your hearts how loved you were. Vernon's passion was his numerous restaurants including Vernon's Grille in Dallas, Calico Cafe in Corrales, and Vernon's Hidden Valley Steaks in Los Rancho de Albuquerque. God blessed his companies not with employees but extended family members, his customers were not patrons but dear friends, and his high morals and standards of life were not private but openly displayed through his warm smile, spiritual wisdom, and loving hand that was always open to whomever God put in his path. Vernon's last words to Angel just moments before passing were, "I wish everyone in the world could find and share the love we have." So as a special gift from Vernon to you, the family would request not donations or sympathy for us; but a peace that you would make with an estranged family member, old friend or anyone that God puts in your path. Let no one cross your path by accident and help our family as we continue on with an open heart and helping hand that Vernon so generously shared.
