Peña on August 27, 1983, at St. Aloysius Catholic Church in Westhoff. Gelasio became a United States Citizen on July 4, 2009. He started Garcia’s Lawn Service in 1990 and has gained the trust and friendship of his many clients over the year. He was named The Latino American Who’s Who from 2014-2015. He was a member of Keep Cuero Beautiful, Knights of Columbus and Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. His two passions in life were his family and work.
