ODESSA, TX – The El Paso man killed in the Odessa shooting was a brother, husband, son and father of four.

“He was just reaching out and helping whoever needed it all the time,” said the victim’s brother, Luis.

According to the city of Odessa, 35-year-old Raul Garcia was killed in the attack along with six other people.

“He was on his way home to be with his kids,” said his wife, Perla. “He didn’t get to make it here.”

“He would be there for everybody,” said his sister, Angie.

In Spanish, his mother Juliana told ABC-7 she was waiting for him to return home.

“He never did,” she said, choking back tears.

The family told ABC-7 that Raul’s funeral will thankfully be paid for by La Paz – Perches Funeral Homes. They have not posted a GoFundMe and his wife said they don’t plan to ask for help from the El Paso community.

Garcia was a graduate of Lamar Elementary, Wiggs Middle School and El Paso High School. He died providing for his family.

“Just like my son said, ‘Mom, now he’ll be a truck driver in heaven,’ Perla told ABC-7, choking back tears.
