As a boy growing up in the San Fernando Valley, Jair De Jesus Garcia was drawn to the fine arts, tastes his mother took every opportunity to nurture.
Maria Luisa Avneri regularly would take the boy, her youngest, and his three siblings on trips to museums, plays, concerts and other performances. One of her lasting memories was looking over at 10-year-old Jair in a darkened theater, his face aglow as he took in his first opera, "Madame Butterfly."
In addition to his mother, Maria Luisa Avneri, Jair De Jesus Garcia is survived by his wife, Gabriella; his son, Noah, from a previous relationship; his father, Guadalupe Garcia; his stepfather, Jacob Avneri; two brothers, Ricardo and Eduardo Garcia; and a sister, Celeste Garcia. He was buried at Riverside National Cemetery.
