"He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten."

Jeff Garcia's career and family, explored in the wake of his passing

Born in California on May 3, 1975, Jeff Garcia started his career as a stand-up comic in 1991 before moving into acting years later.

He first broke out as a voice actor and established his career after he was cast as Sheen Estevez in Nickelodeon's Jimmy Neutron franchise. 

Garcia voiced Sheen in over a dozen projects, from video games to movies, TV shows, and TV specials. He also lent his voice to bring Pip the Mouse's character to life in 52 episodes of the Back at the Barnyard series, the video game, and the movie. 

Acting in front of the camera was also in Garcia's repertoire. He starred as Freddy Lopez in the comedy series Mr. Box Office and the movie Holy Cash. 

His last project was a guest appearance on the stand-up show Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen on CBS. 

He talked about his stand-up career back in an interview with What's Up Temecula in 2015. He said: 

"My shows are about 60% made up right then and there. My take on my job has always been that, if people are paying money, they don't want to see a live version of what they just saw on TV."

As for his family life, Jeff Garcia was married to Lisa Garcia from 2002 to 2013. They share two children: Savannah and Joseph.
