Deputy Jesus Garza was killed in an automobile accident while responding to a report of a vehicle accident at 1800 hours.

Deputy Garza, who was wearing his seat belt, was seriously injured in the collision. He was flown to Brooke Army Medical Hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
Deputy Garza had served with the Bexar County Sheriff's Department for 11 years, and is survived by his wife and three young children.

Time passed has not erased the memories. I was in lousiana visiting family when J-1 & Tom informed me of the crash. I spoke to you before leaving and we shared thoughts of your Mom. I also had the chance to say that despite anything & everything I was your partner. I've "graduated" from the streets, left the home I grew up in as an adult for 29 years; still detoxing. I've said goodbye to my Pops, but still care fer Moms. My babies are now "Monsters"
