Gerardo Garcia - Izzarraras

Gerardo “Jerry” Garcia Izarraras, 35, of Hailey, Idaho, passed away unexpectedly on November 23, 2025, leaving a profound void in the hearts of all who knew him.

Jerry was born on April 1, 1990, in Coeneo, Michoacán, Mexico, to Maria De Los Angeles Izarraras Perez and Jose Gerardo Garcia Guillen. He graduated from Wood River High School in 2008 and attended the College of Southern Idaho. Jerry dedicated his life to helping his family, friends, and anyone in the community who needed support.

He was cherished by everyone—from his customers at Starbucks, where he worked for over ten years, to those he met through Mountain Rides and countless other jobs. Wherever Jerry went, people were drawn to his unique and fierce love. He was always ready with a hug, a smile, or a bite to eat, and his generosity left a lasting impression on everyone he encountered.

Jerry is survived by his husband and partner, Austin; their daughter Isabella; their beloved dogs Quila and Fernando; parrot George; goat Rizza; and other pets at home. He is also survived by his parents, Angelina Izarraras and Gerardo Garcia, and his siblings:

• Maria de los Angeles Garcia Izarraras (Armando Vargas) – children Tania, America

• Yaqueline Garcia Izarraras (Cesar Castanos) – children Monze, Sherlyn, Cesar Miguel, Luis

• Griselia Garcia Izarraras (Omar Perez) – children Mariana, Omar, Marlom

• Gonzalo Garcia Izarraras (Mayra Carillos) – children Samantha, Gonzalo, Andres

• Francisco Garcia Izarraras (Danyca Anguiano) – children JJ, Delayza

• Maria Guadalupe Garcia Izarraras (Juan Rodriguez) – children Juan, Enrique, Lupita

• Jose Garcia Izarraras (Ashley) – children Rylee, Jose

Jerry will also be deeply missed by his best friends, Cyndi Ochoa and Daniela Arkosi.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, December 13, 2025, from 5:00 pm-7:00 pm at The Mint in Hailey. Friends and family are invited to attend. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Senior Connection in Jerry’s honor.
