Manny Garcia has left the range

After a long hard battle Manny has passed away. Those that knew him knew a very funny, very generous person who was a good competitor and the life of the party. Please keep his family in your prayers. The accuracy community just suffered a huge loss.
Here is a picture of him with his daughter Kristina on the left at WBC 12

We are diminished with the loss of this fine man. He willingly sacrificed his time and talents to doctor the shooters at the matches. He would do this without any compensation and without complaint. He was a great friend to all of us who knew him. My condolences and prayers to family and friends.
 
Manny was the greatest man I’ve ever
known, standing all of 5 ft 3 inches tall, he was a giant. He selflessly cared for so many people! When he heard my wife was having some difficulty with her pregnancy, Manny was all over it! He was on the phone with us and our doctors making sure my wife and son were getting the best care possible. That’s who he was!

If I choose words to described Manny it would be kind, compassionate, gentle and caring! Over the years at Benchrest matches Manny was known for conducting “sick call”! Over Manny’s Benchrest career (just at matches) he had seen/treated over 3000 patients!

Doctor, Husband, Father, Competitor! I say Manny was one, if not THE most respected men in Benchrest!

God bless Manny and God bless his family!

The world is just a little sadder without him in it!
