Port Isabel - Commissioner Jesus Rolando "Pollo" Garza, Sr. - A.K.A. "Captain Jesse" of Port Isabel, TX went to be with be with the Lord on March 1, 2007. Captain Commissioner Garza was a very unique person that represented the Lord in many ways. He held strong to his convictions through the storm, never bowing down to whims of men. When it came to his family, Capt. Garza's love was unlimited, insisting they have the best he had to offer and giving his best. His family was not the only people touched by his passion; the community was also in his heart. Extremely social and friendly, there wasn't a single sole Capt. Garza did not extend his hand for support, help or protection. Although his journey here on earth was short, his accomplishments were numerous. Through the many lives he touched, we continue to see the fruits of his labor. We are his legacy and will continue on his path until it is our time; just like he told his son once, "I will wait for you at the finish line." He is survived by his loving wife of over 34 years, Maria De Jesus Garza - Port Isabel, one son: Jesus Rolando (Valerie) Garza, Jr. - Los Fresnos, two daughters: Sara Lee (Albert) G.
