Eden Cataleya Garcia

Eden Cataleya Garcia, 4 months of Lubbock, Texas passed away January 26, 2023. Eden was born August 29, 2022, in Lubbock, TX to Yovany Garcia and Jenna Garcia. Eden was born a fighter; she was born with a rare genetic disorder called myasthenia gravis with an ALG 14 variant which is a protein deficiency. This disorder caused Eden to have low muscle tone, and affected her breathing. She was also diagnosed with multiple ischemic strokes in utero and was epileptic. Despite everything that was placed in her way she overcame everything and began to prosper. We were told that she wouldn't make it during the first 48 hrs of life. She over came that. We were told she wouldn't do much and that she wouldn't have a normal "childhood". She received a tracheostomy and a g-tube at just 2 weeks of age, endured and overcame. She started to move her arms and legs, wiggled body parts. Made sounds over her tracheostomy, she knew people's voices by sound, and loved face snuggles. She made all the booger bubbles but also hated to be suctioned and would make the meanest little faces ever to me and her daddy and brother Lucas. She loved music, all types, but her favorite song was Tennessee Whiskey. She was our little country girl. She loved when I would sing to her and she would either fall asleep or wake up and wiggle around. She loved her 2 brother and sister so much when they would come home from school and just spend time with her in her room, they never seen her as a "disabled child" they just seen her as Eden their baby sister. She was so full of life and full of light, any person shed met she would light up a light inside them that they didn't know they even had. She had her own language at 4 months of age, she could tell so much without saying a word. We were told her life expectancy became unknown, she was beating all the odds that was placed in front of her, and showed everyone there's nothing that she couldn't overcome and do. She was our personal Wonder Woman and showed us the true meaning of unstoppable and amazing and brave. Loved ones include father Yovany Garcia; mother Jenna Garcia; brother Lucas; brother Dominic; sister Penelope; grandfather Alexander; grandma Aissa; uncle Mikey; uncle Kai; auntie Leilani; grandma Shannon; grandpa Stephen; uncle Sebastian. Preceded in death by great grandma Julia, great grandpa frank, great aunt Beverly, great aunt Joli, great grandma Carol, great grandpa Clint and many more. A celebration of her life will be 11:00 AM Friday, February 17, 2023 in Sanders Memorial Chapel with Deacon Michael Kenny officiating.
