William 'Bill' Garibay

William “Bill” Garibay, a great son, husband, uncle and brother-in-law, passed away unexpectedly, Sunday, March 4, 2012. He loved unconditionally his foster kids, nieces and nephews. He worshiped the ground his mother walked on, and treated his wife, Barb Garibay, the same way.

Bill loved to cook and often dreamed of owning his own restaurant to share the amazing food his family enjoyed so much. Barb and Bill were members of First United Methodist Church and cherish the relationships they have built with their families through Christ. With kindness, generosity and love in his heart, he never had anything bad to say about anyone or anything.

A Horlick High alumnus and Cardiac Capers member, Bill Garibay will live on in many hearts of friends and family who have had the extreme pleasure of knowing him.

Survivors include his loving wife, Barb; his mother, Barbara (Albert) Garibay; brother, Jamie (Jenny) Garibay; mother-in-law, Florence Jordan; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Judy (Tim) Malcore, Wilma (Rob) Escamilla, Billee Platt; nieces and nephews, Ashly and Skyler Platt Jr., Katelyn and Joshua Malcore, Amanda and Kristin Garibay; other relatives and many dear friends. He was preceded in death by his father, William Haggerty.

A Memorial Service will be held at the First United Methodist Church, 745 Main St., on Thursday, March 8, 2012, at 7 p.m., with Rev. Brad Van Fossen officiating. Relatives and friends may meet with the family at the church Thursday from 6 p.m. until time of service.
