Born in Chicago, Illinois, Artie was the son of Joseph Garcia and the late Helen Chavez. He was a talented tool and die maker and was most recently employed by Tennsco Corporation in Dickson. Artie was very much a family man and loved his children and grandchildren. He was hard-working and fun-loving and he enjoyed “playing jokes” on his family members and friends.
Survivors include his father, Joseph Garcia, Coos Bay, OR; two sons, Chad Saldivas, Dickson, and Julian Saldivas, Elgin, IL; his daughter, Crystal Gonzalez (Jose), Carpentersville, IL; his two sisters, Lisa Garcia, Birmingham, AL, and Victoria Ortiz, Berwyn, IL; and his ten grandchildren, Joseph, Jocelyn, Jacob, Justin, Brayden, Jevon, Kyia, Alex, Andrew, and Jaylen.
